Father, you will be truly missed...

I will never say goodbye to you my Father
because I know this is not the end for us to see each other.
You will only be going to a place where there is no pain nor suffering.
I am happy for you, for you will be with God....

John 14:1-2
1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Fathers house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.

Mona Menard, 91, passed away Thursday, September 24, 2015 peacefully with family around her. The love that she had for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren was immeasurable. She was a beautiful soul who loved Jesus with her whole heart. Her Saturday afternoons were spent in church, and her Sunday's were spent cooking for and relaxing with her family. She had such a close, tightknit family that ever her 17 grandchildren called her "Mom." Her children were so blessed to have such an amazing, strong, caring mother. Mom is at peace now with her parents, sisters, her husband, and daughter Marcia. She is survived by her three daughters- Brenda, Lauren, and Janet, and her son John. Thank you, Mom, for all of the love and warmth you have showered us all with for so many years. We miss you so much already.

When I think of Sayar, I never forget the days we went to his classroom when I was 14. And he gave every student a nickname including me. He called me Shan Phone Gyi. I was kinda blunt boy, always weak at Maths. He was patient.

I still hear his words ''Practise every moment, everyday and repeatedly.''

My Mother was a very strong woman having raised seven children alone, being a mother and a father for 36 years due to the untimely death of my father when I was 5 years older in 1979.

The best I could ever have asked for! A kind hearted mother who is always willing to sacrifice all for the love of her children up to her grandchildren. We feel honoured, blessed and privileged to have had, held and loved you as our mother.

She passes away last Thursday evening, September 4, 2015 @ the Isaac Catalina Medical Center.

Her heart was full of love and praises with God. We are proud you trusted God and called Him to the end. We're gonna missed you mom. Your spirit has gone to God, and your soul lives on.
It brings great sadness.. thinking we will never see you.. our only consolation.. you are now in a better place.

You may now Rest in Peace, until we meet again.. We loved you so much.
