I am deeply sorry to hear about your loss. May Jehovah the “God of all comfort” be a source of strength and comfort to help you endure this difficult time. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4. Psalms 83:18.
Aunt Mary was my second Mother. Uncle Vic and Aunt Mary live in the same house downstairs apartment. We lived in there until 1963 when my Dad and Uncle Vic built houses one street apart. Every holiday, family birthday any family gathering Aunt Mary and Uncle Vic were there. My Dad and Uncle worked together 6 days away and then on the 7th they played together, fly fishing, snow skiing & wind surfing..Aunt Mary always packed the best lunches..Aunt Mary loved her Catholic faith, the blessed Virgin Mary, her Peaches (uncle Vic), her family the Tekavec’s and my brothers and I. Most Children are lucky to grow up with two parents, I was truly blessed to have two set of parents..RIP my Aunt Mary you will live in my heart forever.
In Loving Memory of Aunt Mary
I have many found memories of Aunt Mary from my earliest childhood. Aunt Mary and Uncle Vic where my “God Parents”.
I remember the time they took me to be baptised and we still laugh how the Priest was ready to anoint me and I pulled out of their hands and ran around the Church hollering “I don’t want to be advertised”!
I also remember the fishing trips with Aunt Mary, Uncle Vic and my Dad and the fried chicken for lunch.
In later years when we visited, Aunt Mary was always cheerful and outgoing.
We were always impressed and appreciated how well Aunt Mary was taken care of by her loving Family after Uncle Vic passed away.
She will always remain in our Hearts and memories forever.
Our deepest sympathy. May your memories give peace and comfort during this difficult time They will never fade.
