In loving memory of a kind, wonderful friend. I cherish the time I spent with Mary decorating the church for holidays when she was at St. Peter Parish. I learned so much from Mary. Mary also introduced me to the healing St. Ann's oil from St. Ann's Basilica in Scranton PA. As life would have it one of my sister's moved to the area so we frequently stop at the Basilica and restock our blessed oil, visit the Shrine and attend Mass there. A beautiful place.
You and your family are in our prayers,
Mary
