Dear relatives of Julia,
Julia and I shared our love for St.Joseph Church among other things. She was always so gracious when I visited her. My daughter and I had every intention of going to her visitation and her funeral Mass.
Something unexpected prevented us on Friday evening.
Saturday morning after getting ready for Mass I saw the ice on my street and being 93 decided to stay inside today. I truly loved Julia and looking forward to meeting her again in Heaven.
With all sincerely and prayers,
Frances Arno Meehan
