I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that you find comfort in Revelation 21:3-5. This scripture paints a picture of a world that is very different from what we see today. A world with no more sickness, pain and death…and it’s not just a dream, it is a promise from God. He promises to reverse the effects of death and resurrect your precious one. You will never have to say a painful goodbye ever again! (John 5:28, 29) jw.org

Aunt Mary was one of the nicest people I have ever known. She had a servant heart and an even bigger heart for children. I know she will be missed and was greatly loved by many people.
