Balbina “Bee” Benang Lujan Duenas Cruz Woody

In Loving Memory of Bee Woody

With profound sorrow and faith in the promise of eternal life, the family of Bee Woody announces her peaceful passing on September 16, 2005, at the age of 92. A devoted Catholic, loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and cherished friend, she lived a life rooted in grace, compassion, and unwavering devotion to God and family.

We take comfort in the words of Scripture:

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

— 2 Timothy 4:7

Her soul now rests in the eternal embrace of our Lord, reunited with loved ones who have gone before her. May her memory be a blessing, and may perpetual light shine upon her.

Buenas Famila, so sad to hear Auntie Benang, has passed. Here’s a short prayer for her and all of us.

“God of Power and Mercy you have made death itself the gateway to Eternal Life look with love on Auntie Benang and make her one with Your Son in His suffering and death, that, sealed with the blood of Christ she may come before you free from sin. Amen”

O Lord grant those who have died the joy of your presence and us who are living the happiness of knowing this. 🙏🙏

I also sent some pictures. Si Yu’us Ma’ase, Yan Bula Guinaiya Para todos hamyu 🖤.

I found a photo of the church in Inarajan, Guam. Was this the church that Nana went to?
