The angels are rejoicing at the homecoming of my wonderful neighbor of almost 25 years, Mrs. Roses Stephens.  She was absolutely the best neighbor anyone could want to have.  She was a lover of animals, nature, exercise and good health, and children.  She treated my children's animals and my children with such love and respect - you would have thought they were part of her family.  My dogs and cats loved her and my children loved her even more.  How could I not love her, too?!  

    My children and I are are so sad to hear of her passing, but know she is safe and happy in Heaven now with her dear husband, Robert, with her sweet sister, Mary, and with all the loved ones who have gone on before her.  I know Father God will have lots of cats for her to take care of and enjoy as well!

    My condolences to the family: her daughter, Susan, her sons, and all of her dear grandchildren that she took so much pride in.  She shared joyfully all of your sucesses.  She was the matriarch of a smart and beautiful tribe!  She was so proud of all of you!  May Father God comfort you now as you move forward without her watchful and prayerful guidance.  Much love to you all and may you remember and carry forth the good example she set for you.
