Dear Sister Jo and Family members ,
Since I can't be present personally, I do want you to know that your Mom and all of you have been remembered at Mass last night. Hopefully my sister, Virginia, will be present at the wake. May your dear Mom rest in the loving arms of God our Father and Mother

I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Auntie Ceclia. She was a wonderful person. My grandma ( Sophie ) always shared stories of their childhood with me. You're all in my thoughts.
