How sad it was to here of Aunt Zita’s passing, but how fortunate we were to have had her here for so long. With her departure, an era comes to a close, leaving us with fond memories.
She will be missed. She has earned her rest. But knowing Aunt Zita, if in the beyond there is a kitchen, she will be in there helping and better organizing the Heavenly Banquet; and after all is ready, reunite again with her family above, dancing in heels no older women could dream of wearing.
Rest eternal be hers. May the angels take her to live in the light perpetual.
