Today, Aug. 10, I received the Email that Colette had sent to St. Mary's
Church in Bordentown, where I will be celebrating a Healing Mass for the Prayer group there on August 29th. Your Email, Colette, and all the siblings and former neighbors that you mentioned therein bring back MANY, WONDERFUL memories to me.
My Email address if any of your family want it is: [email protected]
I surely will pray for Norma --- a great lady in my estimation also.

Mom--Mark said you lived life like a locomotive; he was right; you left us as quickly. Brad is wearing out your hat "Tis Himself" and now he "gets" what you meant; Governor of the Virgin Islands, John de Jongh,sent his condolences as did Senate Vice President Louis Patrick Hill and so many friends you made in the Virgin Islands. Monte called to say he was wearing your Rutgers shirt. Mother, you left a very large hole in my life but you and Daddy gave me every tool I will ever need to carry on. Brad and I will miss you forever and I keep hearing you tell me to get off the phone and go fix his dinner. I love you Mother---hard to imagine life without you.

Ma, we're all going to miss you a lot. But, I am happy because you are in a better place and now you are able to watch all of your kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids, ALL at once. You are now able to be everyone's Guardian Angel. I miss you, and there was so much I wish I could've been able to ask you about our family's history and heritage, but you are in a better place now and I am not sad for you, I am happy for you. We are all only sad for ourselves because we miss you, but I'm sure you are happy now to be in Heaven with God and the rest of our family. Earth is only a temporary home for angels like you, and now you are where you belong. I love you, and I can't wait to see you again!
