I’m so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. You were so fortunate to spend so many years together. May your wonderful memories keep her alive in your heart.
Thank you, Nancy. You’re right. We are very lucky.
Mike & family,
My deepest sympathy on the passing of your mom. God bless you with many loving memories of Marie and with peace knowing she is resting with the angels.
I remember Marie fondly as a fellow choir member at holy Cross 30 years ago.
I arrived at the church for her funeral on Saturday, but found it was postponed. I want her family to know that I think Marie was a wonderful person.
Thank you Martha! Holy Cross is a very special place to her. I’m sorry that you weren’t aware of the postponement. It happened quickly with the airline issue that week.
Thank you Mark and Sandy!
