My sincere condolences for your loss. Many have found true comfort in God's word the Bible (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). In God's word, we find the promises that we can be reunited with our loved ones (John 5:28,29). The Bible tells us where this happy reunion will take place (Psalm 37:11, 29). Will you be there in paradise to see them?
We will never forget that day in the 1960's when the family with the four boys moved into our neighborhood in Seattle. What a wonderful friendship was formed and has lasted for over fifty years. Lots of fun times were had while they lived in Seattle and then when they moved back to Bellingham our cars went both ways up and down the Freeway to visit and enjoy special times. Helen was like a Sister to Nancy and Jerry like a Brother to Bob..their children were very special to us and such great times we all had together. Many weekends we were in Bellingham and going out to dinner and dancing. We will miss Helen as we have missed Jerry but know we will all be dancing together again in Heaven.
God Bless their children and grandchildren for being so good and attentive to Helen as she loved them all, even when she forgot their names. She will be missed.
To the Jenkins family, my cousins:
I am sorry for the loss of you mother and grandmother. She was always a strong support for me in my vocation. I always got a kick out of seeing her at St. Francis when I would see my Uncle Dick there when he was still living. The generation of our parents made such an amazing contribution to our extended family and you will be in my prayers and in heart as I celebrate Mass on Monday, the same day you gather at The Assumption to give her back to the Lord with love.
May she Rest In Peace!
Fr. Gary Zender
