It is with much sadness and much love that we say goodbye to our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and great aunt, Mavis, who passed away ever so peacefully October 25, 2018, at the age of 93 years.

The family wishes to express their most sincere gratitude to the Health Service Aides, Nurses, Doctors and other caring staff of Touchmark at Wedgewood, Lynnwood Capital Care, Lifestyle Options Terra Losa, and the staff at Unique Dental Hygiene for their kind care and support given to Mavis during her stays.

Hi Mom .. a little prose to close
Off she goes to her heavenly abode
Our dearest mother, familiar smile shining along that road
Heart still ablaze with tender love
For all those she came upon, whilst lent from above
Our collective memories will never fail
To honor our Angel with love filled pail
We miss you now even more
Knowing we’ll meet eventually on that Golden Shore

My dearest cousins,
The very sad loss of your beloved mother is shattering and very painful.
She was a constant in my life since birth and was part of that generation of our family who kept us all together and taught us so much. She worked hard for her family and made sacrifices so that her children could have the best. She loved unconditionally and was kind, caring, generous, welcoming and hospitable.
My darling Auntie May, I will miss your sweet smiles, your jokes, your easy-going nature. I bid you a very fond ‘goodbye’ but your loving spirit will live on in my heart forever.
My sincere condolences to everyone. I shall be there with you in spirit tomorrow at the service.
May God watch over you, keep you safe and bless you and your families.
Love you,
Schindie
