She passed after her daughter read the following:

"Death need not be cause for ultimate dismay.
Death is not, and will never be, the end.
Christ has already seen to that.

There is joy that awaits.
There is a hope that lights this darkness.
There is a journey that leads us inevitably to the great declaration:

Christus Victor!
Christ victorious!
Christ has conquered death!

All praise be his.
All glory, his own."
