Dear Jana and Bill,
Eternal rest grant unto Richard and may he rest in peace. Amen. I will keep you in my prayers that the Lord grant you peace. You have kept a constant vigil on your parents. I am certain that this provided much comfort for them and Bill told me that this will continue for your mother. May God continue to bless you in your care for your mother.
Noony and I send our thoughts and prayers and will have a Mass said for the repose of Richard's soul at our Parish, of St Francis Xavier in Wilmette in coming weeks.
Let us know if we can be of help.
In Christ,
Jack and Noony Malone
