My beautiful Grandmother... Joan Baldwin Komlance... So many wonderful memories of Easter sleep overs and going to church at Holy Trinity Catholic Church. My Catholic faith came from my mother, Judith Ann Komlance White and my maternal Grandparents, Joan and Joseph Komlance. I spent many Easter Eves at my Grandparents home on Warman Street waiting for the "Easter Bunny" to come and visit leaving me an Easter basket. My Aunt Janice and I would wait for him to come.... often with me waking up "too early" and my Aunt Janice telling me to "go back to sleep or the "Easter Bunny won't come". My Easter basket was always left on Janice's piano bench every year. I remember, I could take my stuffed bunny to church with me, but I could not eat any Easter candy until we went to Easter Mass. I remember getting to go up to the loft, where my Aunt Janice played the huge church organ so gracefully. I would watch her fingers delicately touch the keys and her feet dance around all the wooden petals on the floor. I will never forget the most beautiful sounds which echoed from the Church Alter and through out the church. There were no words, but it sounded like Angels singing and rejoicing in Gods praise. My beautiful Mother, Judith Ann Komlance White passed away on June 29, 2014. I know she wanted to leave this world, to be my Grandmother's Angel "in the light" to guide her to heaven. I am so happy they are together in peace. Mom kept saying..."I want to be with my family" and so did my beautiful Grandmother. Now our family is growing in Heaven, reunited in Gods Kingdom in Heaven. My beautiful Grandma.... I ,love you always. XOXO Shannon
