Sister Antonia Remembered!
A tribute to Ben's great aunt, Sister Antonia... an amazing woman! Her car was t-boned here in Denver by a 21 year old boy who ran a red light. She suffered from several broken ribs as well as a broken pelvis. On November 4th, she heard God's calling and went home to heaven. We will always remember her warm smile and caring soul.. and hope that she will forever watch over us until we can be with her again one day! Here is her obituary:
