Mark & Chris:
With a lot of love, I send my deepest sympathy to you upon the loss of your mother. I know you both were the pride and joy of her life. Every time I think of you I am so very honored to be your aunt.

My deepest sympathy is extended to the sons and family of Taffi. She was a very important part of the St. Louis DeMontfort Parish family. It is that family that will miss her enthusiasm, her strength and her courage to speak up and never sit down when something needed to be said or done. God always seems to choose the best at the height of their life when they are needed most. Some day perhaps we will understand why. Right now, we try to accept His Will. I won't say rest in peace, because I know you will be doing the best that you know how -- always being there for those who care and love you. Thank you for being in my life, even if just for a short while.

Taffi,
You will be missed by all who knew you and loved you. My deepest sympathy goes out to your sons and extended family. Keep 'em laughing up there as much as you did here. We shared many important events in our son's early years. I often think of those times with all of us at St. Louis de Montfort and it immediately puts a big smile on my face. Your gift of laughter will be sorely missed. I know that your spirit will be among us always. Seems like the best among us have been taken way too soon. Thank you for giving me so many good times and conversation. You touched many of our lives with special memories and personally, I will be forever grateful for the laughs, tears and friendship... Love, Nina
