She and her husband, Reverend Joe Rubio, served 38 years in the church ministry. She served faithfully to the work of the Lord by advancing the gospel with heartfelt words of wisdom. She influenced many lives by her warm smile and countless hugs.
Her departure from this world was a kiss from Heaven. She ran into the arms of Jesus.
We celebrate and honor her today. Praise be to God of whom all Blessings Come. You were blessed to be a blessing. And we were blessed to have been a part of your life.
Mother taught us three virtues: Faith, Hope and Love.
Faith: The intellect that is perfected by a “Supernatural Light.”
Hope: The supernatural gift bestowed by God that grants us “Eternal Life.” To be transformed, into, immortality to live forever as a resurrected being.
Love: Is the supernatural virtue of which a person, Love’s God above all things. Love is a gift from God. Then and only then, are we able to demonstrate this “Gift of Love,” to ourselves and mankind.
Your nephews and nieces knew you as their “Beautiful Aunt, with an eye for fashion and grace.” A woman of faith, unconditional love, with words of wisdom and counsel.
They also called and cherished you as their “Beautiful Tia Frances.”
To us you will forever be our most “Wonderful, Beautiful, Loving, Talented, Diligent, Confident and Courageous" woman of God.
You ran the race, your task on earth is finish. We rejoice with the Angels in Heaven to know that you receive your Crown of Glory.
And as always you will forever be “Mom”.
