Dear Kathy, I was so saddened to hear of your mother's passing. I remember pizza overnights at your house and what a beautiful and fun mom she was! It was so great to see you at my own mom's funeral...I only wish I could have been there to give you my support in person. Prayers to your family.

Both mom and I were very sad to hear of the passing of Joyce. She was such a beautiful lady and a good friend to so many people at Christ the King. She will be missed. She always put everyone else first. She was truly a devoted wife and mother. I wish we could be there for her funeral but we are out of town until the end of April but our thought and prayers will be with you and your family.
