Dear Joanie and family,
I meant to send my condolences earlier, and perhaps even get to the Mass of Christian Burial at St. John's but regret that I was not able to do so.
I know how dear your mother was -- and IS to you! Remember that in our Risen Saviour, she will remain with you as she is with Him.
May our Lord give your dear Mom eternal rest, and comfort you and your family in your time of grief. If you need anything, please make sure to contact me.
