CARLA REYMOND SIMON R.I.P.

To our dearest Queenie and her family, we send our prayers, our love, and our condolences on the passing of your dear sister, Carla - R I P.  May God hold her in the palm of his hand

Notes from Queenie: 
Carla was born on December 22, 1944 at the CWM Hospital in Suva.  Throughout the years Carla always displayed a wonderful sense of composure, compassion and understanding which she shared with all of us, her family, and her many friends.  Many of you will remember Carla as an accomplished cook, and, her famous specialty of yummy chutneys and jams were very much sought after by her many customers from all ranks of the community.

Carla's passing on Monday, February 8th, 2010, was sudden and an awful shock.  She had had a good afternoon, doing housework, and cooking up more guava jam, then whilst having a shower at 9:30pm she suffered a major heart attack - so sudden that we hope that she did not suffer. 

She was buried with her grandfather, Moritz von Reymond in the new Suva Cemetery.

After Glow

I'd like the memory of me 

to be a happy one

I'd like to leave an after glow 

of smiles when life is done

I'd like to leave an echo

whispering softly down the ways

Of happy times and laughing

times and bright and summer days.

I'd like the tears of those who grieve,

to dry before the sun,

Of happy memories that I leave 

When life is done

 With our loloma, our sympathy, and Many Blessings,

The St. Joseph Family
