Our Mother

To try to define our mother cannot be done in a few paragraphs...
The word “mother” with her, had no end...
She taught us the meaning of love, for God and each other, endlessly...
We will continue to live our lives without her as we did with her, because of her strength & love...
Her heart was pure and endless...
She is now with Our Blessed Mother and Jesus, watching over us as she always did...
She will remain in our hearts until we are all together again...

The family would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to the staff at the Sanctuary at St. Paul's, and St. Ann's second floor staff, for all of their kindness and care, not only for Reyes but for her entire family. Family will receive friends on Tuesday, January 23 from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Sanctuary at St. Paul's in South Bend. Funeral services follow at 10 a.m. Burial will take place in Mission Hills Cemetery in Niles, MI the following day.To leave the family an online condolence, please visit www.hahnfuneralhomes.com.
