Debbie & Don, I've never done this before, but I'll try since the Funeral Parlour sent me this option to add new thoughts and sentiments about your dear Mother. On this anniversary of her death and Funeral Mass 2017. Now 5 years later; doesn't seem that long. I saw the price of a rib eye steak in Mariano's the other day: $49.00! Wow, nothing special about they were just in the meat cooler all wrapped. What does that have to do with your mom? Well how nice she was to me when I worked in the school & church cleaning for the Parish by Mr. Dan Gerl.
(You remember Don) Mr. G was talking about lunch and hinted told me to buy a couple of steaks for "us" for lunch. I did at Jewel 1971 I bought 3 Rib eye with bone called Saratoga steaks chef cut. They were about $1.79 a piece!!! Your ma brought over to the Lower Hall Mr. G's office the Rectory's electric little broiler. I cooked them had an outstanding lunch that day all because of your mother's care and concern for me, etc.
Hope she is looking down from heaven on you her family and her St. Maurice family. May she ask God to bless all of us. Peace, Amen.
