I have such sweet memories of Cousin Gilda's kind and generous spirit. She exemplified the love of Christ in the way she treated those with whom she came in contact, and it is such comfort to know that she is now truly "home."

So sorry to hear of my cousin's passing, however, realizing that she is with Jesus now with members of her family. Prayers sent to family members left behind in their grief.
