Miriam Cecelia Wells

When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand. An angel came, called my name, and took me by the hand. The angel said my place was ready in heaven far above, and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked through heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home. God looked down, smiled at me, and told me, “Welcome home.” So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.

Our mom passed on December 7, 2023 at 99 years old. She left behind two children, John Christopher and Patricia Anne.

She loved six great-grandchildren, Alex, Benjamin, Caroline, Brayden, James, and Joseph. She had four nephews, Michael, Frank, Theodore, and Patrick. She will be remembered by dear friends and family, Kathy Wells. She’s in heaven with many relatives and friends, her beloved husband, John William (JW as she called him), and the Lord.
