RIP Jare Rhea Whitmore Born 12 October 1944 died 23 November 2010

I am very sad to write that my mother-in-law, Jare Rhea Whitmore, passed away this morning at around 8:00 am UK time. I was in Mass at the time actually praying that God would be merciful to not let her suffer and to take her into his loving care. She died of ovarian cancer. My wife Rhea is leaving for America tomorrow out of London to attend the funeral Mass that I believe may be this Saturday. I will be remaining in London taking care of our six children while she is away and sad that I am not able to make the funeral. She was more than a mother-in-law to me but was a friend and a mom. I cherish every conversation we have ever had and am thankful for her life and love for Christ. She received Last Rites last evening and we are told had a peaceful death for which we are thankful. We will miss her very much knowing that love never ends.

Please pray for Rhea, Henry (her husband), and the family during this time. Any Masses would be greatly appreciated.

In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.
