Zoe and Win,
I was shocked to read in the paper of Becky's death. My sympathy and prayers go out to your whole family.
I will offer mass for the repose of her soul and remember you in that mass.
I am sorry I will be unable to attend the funeral because I don't drive and am living in Wilkes-Barre in an assisted living facility temporarily medically retired.
I know your faith will enable you to get through this very tragic time. my pryers and thoughts will be with you saturday and in the future.
God's peace love and blessings and mine,
Fr. Ron
