Marie often spoke highly of her mother. What a rewarding life she had the good fortune to live. And, with the abundance of so many children! Memories of her life's meaning will be shared and cherished for years to come among her children and their children. The next days, and longer, will be “tough”. Yet, family will support your father and each other. That closeness, and respect for one another, was a gift shared by your mother and your father. Family, friends and above all, faith and hope, endure. We believers are comforted in the reality of the resurrection of this life. Your mother has passed from this life. Yet, she lives on. May the Good Lord gladly receive her into Heaven. May Christ Jesus extend His comfort and grace to all of you.
