She was a kind gentle woman. She was a huge part of my life. I will ever be thankful for all she did for me throughout my life. Although she has physically passed now, I feel I lost her several years ago to dementia. But even then she remained a mild spirit. Now she is free and in Jesus bosom. Ah what a sweet place to be. I will miss her dearly, but am thankful that she is free. God Bless her.
Love always,
Gina

Dear Ones —
I shall miss Argentina and her name on my “birthday card” list, and I’ll certainly miss the special way that she ‘counted’ in rhythm; what a joyful spirit!
I know that most people knew her as “Arge,” but she will always be Argentina to me; the lady with the beautiful, mysterious, classical name.
May God’s peace and blessings be yours during this most tender season; and, may He give you many lovely memories, so that you may always have roses in December.

Ever hoping . . .
Always in Jesus,

Maryann (Music Ministry Volunteer)
