At Time to be Born

A Time to Pass

After a prolonged illness, she gracefully transitioned to her heavenly home and gained her angel wings on November 24th, 2024 in the loving and caring home of her youngest daughter, Sherri Lee Hunt who was by her side when she peacefully left this earth. Sherri's spouse, Brian Hunt and their adored boys, opened their home and hearts to care for her.

We would also like to thank the personal caregivers and Hospice staff who helped care for mom. Most notably, Sandra who fought with tenacity to help keep mom with us as long as she possibly could. She loved and cared for her as if she was her own Mother. She is not only a friend, but has become part of our family.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did that day, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.

I know how much you loved me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. This angel said my place was ready, in Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
