Together they raised their 8 children. Mom lived her life devoted to her children, her church and love for Jesus. She had an amazing gift of love that she generously gave to all those around her, touching each and every one she came in contact with. Her greatest passion was being a mother. She worked hard to instill strong morals and family values in each one of us, encouraging us to follow the paths we chose in life. As Mom and Dad’s family grew with each new grandchild and great grandchild, so did her joy and pride. She loved each new addition as if they were her own. We will all miss our little Tillie, with all our hearts and forever be thankful to the Lord, for blessing us with this beautiful lady we called Mom. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. in St. Joseph’s Church.
