Mother left us this morning to make her journey through the Pearly Gates. She was surrounded by all her family. After she died the women of the family dressed her in her favorite outfit with the pearl decorated neckline, snazzy black and white slippers, pearl earrings, Princess Diana ring, pearly nail polish, Poissin fragrance, and makeup. She was beautifully dressed for the journey and it was a comforting ritual for us.
Dakar, Senegal: A Wolof Village & The Pink Lake
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Oh Karen, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom began her journey today surrounded by love and is now in place full of pure love and peace. Hugs to you all; and know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
To all the Wilsons:
What a beautiful day for your mom!!! To be surrounded by all that you love when you are taking the journey to be with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And how fitting for Aunt Cathie……. Pearls and sparkles! A tribute fit for a queen.
I know in my heart that all of the Heinks are reunited again in Heaven, having a fabulous party!
I am sending my love and prayers that God will be gracious to you all in this time of sorrow.
Love Peggy
We are so sorry and know how difficult this time is in your life. God has already sent you blessings in all your treasured memories of your Mom and with time they will bring smiles. Condolences to all the family and God bless each of you.
Hugs, Lynn & Art
