My Story

DEDICATED TO A WONDERFUL LADY, WIFE, MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER AND GREAT-GRANDMOTHER, MRS. BERNIECE LEFAY. MY MOM WAS TRULY A LOVING, KIND AND GENEROUS PERSON TO HER FAMILY AND ALL THAT KNEW HER. SHE WAS A MOM AND ALSO WORKED OUTSIDE THE HOME TO HELP SUPPORT THE FAMILY. SHE HAD VARIOUS JOBS IN HER LIFE TIME AND SHE GAVE HER BEST TO ALL OF THEM.
   MOM WAS MARRIED TO HER HUSBAND, THEODORE FOR 62 DEVOTED YEARS. SHE HAS TWO CHILDREN, ALLEN, HER PRIDE AND JOY AND DAUGHTER, CATHY SEITZ, WHOM SHE HELPED A LOT IN HER LIFE. SHE HAD AN INFANT DAUGHTER, SHARON LEE, WHO PASSED AWAY IN INFANCY. SHE TRULY LOVED HER FAMILY AND HER HOME WHICH SHE ALWAYS KEPT SO NEAT AND COMFORTABLE. AT THE END OF HER LIFE, SHE ENDED UP IN A NURSING HOME, WHICH DID NOT MAKE HER HAPPY AT ALL. SHE SO WANTED TO SPEND HER LAST DAYS AT HOME, BUT THAT WAS NOT TO BE. NOW, MY DEAR MOTHER IS RESIDING IN HEAVEN, A MUCH BETTER PLACE THAN ANY PLACE HERE ON EARTH. I KNOW SHE STILL WATCHES OVER HER FAMILY AND HOPES THAT EVERYONE SHE LOVED WILL GO ON WITH THEIR LIVES AND TO BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER. SOME TIMES, I CAN FEEL HER PRESCENCE NEAR AND THAT COMFORTS ME.
    SHE LEAVES BEHIND 4 GRANDCHILDREN AND 5 GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN WHOM SHE THOUGHT THE WORLD OF AND WOULD'VE LOVED TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEM.
    I PRAY THAT MOM KNOWS HOW MUCH WE LOVED HER AND THAT WE MISS HER, DAILY. SHE WILL BE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS! GOD BLESS, YOU, MOM! NOW YOU CAN FINALLY REST IN PEACE! LOVE FOREVER, CATHY AND THE GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN.
