With sadness at our loss but joy at what was a wonderful life, I wish to announce the sudden passing of my mother, Martha two months past her 91st birthday.Martha was a woman of the ages. Teacher, Registered Nurse, Mother, Homemaker, Catholic Women's League President and known as the Mother Teresa of 22nd Street. Mostly, Martha was a woman of faith in her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
He took her today, swiftly with no suffering, on Friday evening she told me that she was ready to go anytime that the LORD called her!
For this, to God be the thanks!
To God be the thanks for the Mother who taught me my Catholic faith!

Please receive my condolences, and prayers for your mom. Maria
My sympathy to you and your family, David. She surely fought the good fight. I will pray for her and for you.
Thank you Puff, Tony, Maria and Jovan. I said to mum a few weeks ago that surely God would take her to heaven because she was undergoing her purgatory here on earth. If she is not there given the example she set for everyone in her life, then there is no hope for the rest of us. She loved God, His Church, His Mother and her family. She went by the old Lebanese custom that in everything in life, God came first, followed by your spouse, followed by your children. She lived that life. I am proud that I was able to keep her living home with me until the day she went to her LORD and Master.
