Grandchildren; Joseph (Maria), Brian (Lindsey), Ben, Michael O, Jason, Jeremy, Joshua, Michael M and Kameko; Great-Grandaughter; Isabelle Kelly and her beloved Sister-In-law; Nonie Sharpe and the wonderful Sharpe family.
“Love never disappears for death is a nonevent. I have merely retired to the room next door. You and I are the same; what we were to each other, we still are. Speak to me as you always have; do not use a different tone. Do not be sad. Continue to laugh at what made us laugh; smile and think of me. Life means what it has always meant the link is not severed. Why should I be out of your soul if I am out of your sight? I will wait for you; I am not here but just on the other side of this path. You see, all is well. â€"St. Augustine-
