We are so sorry for your loss but celebrate your mother's HOMECOMING and eternal rest with reward for a life well lived. She raised a son to become a priest and you are a wonderful priest and servant. Caring for your mom these last few months was in inspiration to all of us with aging parents. May you be blessed with a peaceful and comforted heart in your sorrow. The Lesters, Michael, Kathy, Les and Peggy

May God continue to bless you and keep you, now and forever. You now have your own saints to interceded for your wonderful efforts. You have made them proud and that is the best thing a son can do to 'honor' his parents. We pray for you in your new role.
