What does this two ladies have in common;
Very friendly,
prayerfull
strong willed
... and they were best of friends and still are up in heaven.
Let's start with aunt Janet . Aunt janet passed away peacefully in February the 22 nd if I am not mistaken. She was a nice lady . She never forgot our birthdays and one time when I was about to go to work , the phone rang . I remember, it was 6.30 am. My mum picked up the phone and it was Aunt Janet , wishing my mum happy birthday , mum and dad again for thier anniversary and me my birthday . She never failed to touch our hearts on our birthdays.
Then one day , my mum receives a call from her and she wants to know if my mum knew an oldie hit .. it was those one hit wonder tunes and the next thing we knew , they were singing to each other over the phone ... hmm ... she was trully blessed and loved by everyone who knew her .... on the day she passed on , she looked so peaceful. Before she passed away , her dear son told her this ,'Don't worry about me , go if you must'. To everyone , big or small it,they knew her as Nanny . it will always be nanny ...
Aunty Violet -- Dear Aunt Violet were opposite neighbors with Aunt Janet . They became friends and Aunt Violet would always visit her . They would talk and talk . Aunty Violet was a strong willed person and she kept her family together and she did it !! Aunty Violet may be tough but she is a soft spoken person by nature . Each time we would take her to church and rosary sessions.Her grandchildren loved her very much .
She passed on the 1st of June . We were saddened by the news but let's put it this way, she is in a happier place. I remember that she would always share what she has with others and those are the values that she holds very dear . She would occasionally call my mum for a chat and we do try to visit her when we can . The last visit was last year , it was some where around Christmas. We talked , made her laugh .
Her daughter told me that her mother had to go because her husband Michael is calling for her. Uncle Michael is another story all togehter and I just want to say that it has been an honor knowing fine people like them . It was truuly a pleasure being friends with them... may their souls rest in peace .
