I remember my great Aunt and how my grand mother Margret Kuranyi would talk for hours about her family. I enjoyed visiting with her from time to time... This news reminded me of how we take things and family for granted... I think the last time I saw my great aunt was at my grandfathers furnel. I came across this poem while talking to my mother tonight as she let me know of great aunt Eva's death and I would like to share it with you. To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you." "It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly, you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do, and foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight, God and I are closest to you... in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years, because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; But together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too.... That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night... "My day was not in vain." And now I am contented.... that my life has been worthwhile, Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.... you're coming here to me. Written by : Ruth Ann Mahaffey

I am the oldest daughter of Joe and Erna Kuranyi - my grandma was Margaret Kuranyi. We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Our deepest condolences to the family. I also wish to mention that my parents, Joe and Erna, are away on vacation, and I will let them know when they return of the loss of dad's aunt.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Aunt Eva. "Death leaves a heartache No one can heal; Love leaves a memory No one can steal." May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead. And may the love of those around you, help you through the days ahead." With love and warm memories, George and Joyce

Please accept our deepest sympathies for the loss of one so special. “Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us everyday, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear." Thinking of you and wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow and comfort in the midst of pain. All our love, Ross and Joyce
