“We your family miss you
In the house where you used to be
We wanted so much to keep you
But God willed it not to be
Now you are in God’s keeping
You suffer no more pain
So dear God take care of her
Until we meet again”

Per her request there will be a private family service at Hahn Funeral Home and entombment will take place at Fairview Cemetery, Mishawaka.
