    Dear Becca, Simon, Talia, and John,
    Our deepest sympathy to you all. So sorry we can’t be with you to celebrate Vinka’s life. Please know you are in our prayers and thoughts at this time.

    Dear Becca, John, (Simon), and Talia,
    Our condolences to all of you on the loss of your grandmother, Vinka. She was a lovely lady. Hospitality was always important to her. She went out of her way to make wonderful, Croatian baked treats for special occasions. She loved God first, and then her family. She was very close to her immediate family, and was in good communication with her family in Australia. Vinka was very faith-filled, and genuine. Her daily life was filled with prayer.. She was extremely loyal to her church community, and spent a fortune having Masses said for people in need. Vinka was such a gracious lady. She was so grateful when family and friends came to visit her at Sunpoint Village. We have no doubt that she will rest in peace after a life well lived.
    “Eternal rest give unto her O Lord, and may eternal rest grant unto her. May she rest in peace. Amen.”
