My Tia (Aunt)
Her favorite hobby:
She was passionate and committed to her faith as a Jehovahs Witness.
Your favorite thing to do with your loved one:
She loved taking care of my children and they became very close to her. I loved talking with her.
Something she taught that sticks with you, or her best piece of advice:
She was a fighter and never gave up on herself. I truly admired that about her.
How pandemic conditions affected her care or your ability to support her in her illness:
The hardest part during her time at the hospital, not being there by her side until her last day was the hardest. The day she passed I spoke to her that morning. I would have given her the world.
If she were here today, what would you like to say to her?
I would tell her not to worry about working hard anymore. I would stick to my promise to have her take care of herself while I did the rest and she didn’t have to worry about working hard. We love you so much and I did not give up on you Tia.
You were always so wonderful with the children and they miss you so much. I will miss seeing you get all dolled up for church and how lovely you looked.
