Dr. Joe (Sr.),

I keep in touch with Father Tom Powers, he called to tell me the sad news. My prayers are with you and your family. Even though I haven't seen you folks in so many years, I think about you often.

May God comfort you.

I have many memories of a truly remarkable woman who's tireless love and boundless generosity meant so much to so many. She will be missed...but her influence in the lives she graced will be reflected for years to come.



My deepest sympathy to all of my friends in the Nora family.
