When I was about 3-4years old just a little girl I remember you taking me to church almost every day and you bought me  French fries and a juice box from brunch right across the street from St. Patrick’s Church and always sat me on the counter top while we waited for our order. 

One day you left to come here and I never thought that I would ever see you again but then I did and I was 22 this time.  I remember how excited you were you didn’t sleep until you heard I arrived. 

You woke up early morning like you always did but only this time you waited by the door and had breakfast ready for me you made me feel like I was home and not alone here. 

I was excited and scared for this new chapter in life starting all over in a new place but You were my stronghold and my refuge. 

 When I moved to Kentucky you called me everyday to check on me and let me know that Everything was fine back home. even when I didn’t answer my phone you would leave me weather forecast voice mail and updated me on the news. It always made me laugh. I thought you did a better job than a news anchor.  

You loved your children and grandchildren with all your heart and always prayed for us to be successful in life and for that we are ever thankful because no ones prayers are stronger than a mothers or a grandmothers prayers. 

We love you and will miss you Unconditionally. I know it won’t be easy to get over the fact that your not with us in body anymore but I know in spirit you will always be looking over us and guiding us.  

You are and always will be an inspiration to us and have raised amazing daughters and sons. They will carry on to teach us what you taught them. I love you and I can’t wait to tell my son all about you. 

Beautiful lady inside and out. Always there to help with her words of wisdom. You will live on through your beautiful children and grand children . RIP Aunty

To the Entire Smith Family,

Our deepest condolence on the passing of your dear mother.   Your mom, my mom and my Aunty  knew each other long before we were born.  As their families grew we all grew closer because of the Love your Mother gave us.  I remember whenever I would stop by in Karachi or even in Virginia the first thing she would offer Tea and food, concerned about my safety when returning home.  She was always a caring person and a giving person.  

Aunty may you now rejoice in the Kingdom of Heaven with your loved ones for you have served God on earth in the most loving and compassionate way and watch over your loved ones here on earth.

RIP Aunty gone but never forgotten.

Avo,  my loving Avo..  How I wanted to see you...meet you.. introduce you to my wife and son... But I guess God knows best... I'll miss you..  Your kind words...  You're lighting a candle for us each time we have something to achieve.... I'll miss you dearly... but one thing I know for sure is that you will always be up there looking out for us... We love you Avo..  Rest in Peace till we meet again 🙏✝

..... Such wonderful memories of Avo
The Avo we all used to know
We kept you too long there waiting
The Angels have said you can go
Bright Golden Gates that are shining
Full of Family to bid you Hello! 
So blow us a kiss as you're leaving 
Our sadness we'll try not to show
Such wonderful memories of Avo
We all have our favorites you'll see
As you enter those gates you'll be thinking 
They're all there thinking of ME!  💖

My dearest Avo. You were the most strongest and loving woman I know. You set a high bar on how an outstanding woman should be. You took such good care of us while we were growing up til today; caring for us while we were sick, helping with our homework and projects, all those times we would bake together and you would put the pan in the oven because I was too scared. Throughout the years, you’ve always remembered and wondered about all of the friends I’ve had, even though I had long forgotten about them. You were such a selfless woman, that you would always shrive to make others happy and comfortable rather than look at yourself. Every time we would talk, you would always be so proud of any and all of my accomplishments and always told me to “Buck Up”. In my life, I can only hope to be some part of the strong woman you were Avo and continue to make you proud. I love and miss you my Avo. I know you will always be watching over us from above. May you Rest In Peace now. ❤️

My aunt Milu has been a constant presence in my life since I was little.  I remember her sending us gifts and one being pretty pink dresses for my sister  and I that she had made it herself.  She was the wonderful aunt that we loved and respected.  
RIP dear aunt Milu
