I am so sorry that I missed the wake of your dear father. I remember him well from St, Agnes Church. I was lucky to know his sons as they went through Marian Catholic High School. He was a wonderful man who leaves behind a rich legacy of family and memories.

With prayers for all of you,
Sister Agnes Ann

Our sincere condolences to your family. God (Psalm 83:18) through his son Christ Jesus gave us a hope for a better future when he advised us to pray for his father's Kingdom at Matthew 6:9, 110. God's Kingdom will eliminate sickness pain and death.
