Grandma, you are more special to me than I can ever express. I love you with my whole heart and will always cherish all our fun times and memories. Thank you for a lifetime of blessings. Give Grandpa a big hug from me. I love you!
Margaret and Family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I have happy memories of your mom and aunt and all they did at St. Charles! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
My deepest sympathies to all my cousins. Your mother was a kind and gentle soul.
Both our mothers were like sisters, I remember the times they used to spend on the phone with each other!
Most of all I remember the miraculous recovery that she had after that terrible event in her life.
Thinking and praying for all of you!!!
God Bless.
