Dear Father Michael, Leona, John and Patrick, and families,

It is with heartfelt sorrow and sadness that I share Leona's passing on to her eternal Reward with all of you.I will sorely miss her voice and our telephone calls that brightened up our days so many times. (So many times we reminisced of days long ago when were "in our prime". What I couldn't remember, Leona could. We had many a laugh, believe me!) But God saw her getting tired and in His Wisdom, called her to Himself to rest in the arms of Jesus and His Blessed Mother. I know she will watch over all of you, like my beloved Jim watches over all of us.

I will sit and think of Leona often when I am all alone for "memory is the only friend that grief can call its own".

Love, Dolly
