To Harry, Annie, and the Morsch and Foley extended families -- We all will remember Peg as a wonderful and positive mother and wife, so kind, gracious, and loving to all. May Peg have rest eternal. And may you find peace for your great tribulations from a powerful prayer of St. Josemaria Escriva, which he said very slowly and savored: "May the most just and most lovable will of God be done, be fulfilled, be praised and eternally exalted above all things. Amen. Amen"

My sympathy to the family of Margaret. One thing that will help you get through this situation is God's word the Bible. And there he assures us: "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart and those who are crushed in spirit he saves. The Bible gives you hope of seeing Margaret again right here on a paradise earth in the very near future. It also promise us that our enemy death will be no more. May these words give you a measure of comfort and strength to endure in this time of such deep sorrow.
