Mrs. Flaherty was my CCD teacher many years ago. I just discovered today that her grandson, Fr. Mike, is a priest at my parish, St. Mary Immaculate in Plainfield. It truly is a small world! Thank you for passing on the Faith to me so many years ago, but more importantly for helping shape your grandson into a fine priest.

Therese,

I am so sorry for your loss, your Mother was a wonderful woman, who always had a smile on her face. I hope you can lean on your memories, and the wisdom your Mom shared with you as you go through your grieving.

Just know I am thinking of you and your family during this time.

Love,

Patrick
