I am so sorry for you loss! Mrs. Lopez ("Millie") had a very kind heart and I will miss her!
As a neighborhood youngster I always felt welcome and enjoyed her food and trying to keep up with both her quick pace and her even faster conversations.
Oh God, may you bless the family and friends who mourn,
with the comfort of your love so that we may face each coming day though our hearts may be torn.
Give us the comfort that only you can provide,
knowing that nothing can destroy the good that has been given with you as our guide.
May our memories become joyful and our tears subside,
knowing that we have been blessed by for a while and she is now at your side.
Amen.
