This morning I was awakened by the news that my grandaunt has gone to the Lord - she passed away yesterday's evening. Visited her few weeks ago. She had already told us that her time was near.  She had been a faithful Church goer even towards her ripe old age. Now at the age of 88 she went in peace.

In honor of her, we the grandnieces and grandnephews will sing in the choir - for her funeral Mass in the church tomorrow.  Our aunts requested us to dress in white and black. So, we had our choir practice in the late evening today. We seemed a little tired but we sang quite well and the practice went smoothly. We will have to be in the church earlier tomorrow morning.

Such an honor given to her and I think this is how one should leave - an ordinary person who had lived and completed her life accordingly - went to the Lord on blessed Christmas season.
