Armeine was my bus driver when I was young.She always was kind to everyone ,even the trouble makers like myself.I would meet her in the store after I grew up and found her to be the most pleasant person to have a conversation with.Armeines brother Gene was of the same.
Thus Mark & Todd have a great legacy.
I pray the Lord help the family in this time of grief.
Here are a few scripture verses that might help:
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:-Isaiah 55;6
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD-Isaiah 55;8
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.-Romans 6;23
She was a wonderful person and will be missed dearly Her family is in my prayers. Rest in Peace
Dear Todd, so so very sorry to hear about your mother. I know how much she meant not only to you but your brother and father. A very strong and confident and loving wife, mother and grandmother. May your memories of her help to ease your pain during this difficult time.
When our family moved into the house next to Gene and Armeine, we were welcomed by both Armeine and Gene into the neighborhod. They were like a second parents to both of us. Always willing to lend a hand. That was July of 1990. From that day on we knew they were wonderful people. My husband and I moved, and our daughter moved into our house with her family, and just as Gene and Armeine looked after us, they always look after our Kids and their 2 children too. I had a chance to speak with Armeine late this past spring, I was at my daughters and saw Armeine sitting in her car with the door open, I didnt have much time as i was on my way home, but the more I talked to Armeine the longer I felt I needed to visit longer, I talked to her that day for at least 2 hrs. I am so glad to have that chance. We never know when our time on this earth will end, we should always find time to let those we care about know how much we love and appreciate them. Our family will miss Armeine, her kind words her laugh and her awesome smile. We will see you again one day Armeine, pain free and happy in Gods Kingdom.
Gene,
I just learned of Armeine’s passing and am saddened. She was the first RPTS staff to greet me when I took the job as director. She was always very helpful and provided a lot of my training in the early days. My very best wishes to you and your family. I shall miss Armeine.
Most Sincerely,
Dave Hastings
