Goodbye to a great person

Early this morning, we lost Jen's Aunt Petra (Her mom's Brother Ray's wife). She was battling pancreatic cancer for a little over 6 months. This weekend, things took a turn for the worse and she wasn't able to recover. Her son Jeremy was by her side holding her hand as she was welcomed into Heaven.
We all got to visit with her these last two days in the hospital and could tell that she was in a lot of pain. While we may not quite understand God's reason, we trust his decision.
Petra-You will be missed. Your spirit was unwavering. You were always in a great mood and able to lift anyone's spirits. For years to come, I will think of you every time I set up my village at Christmas. Be sure to say hi to Jim for us.
