Dear Fran and family,
I did not know about the passing of your dear mother . I moved out of town. I just read the article here.
It is very sad when you loose your mother . I am so sorry for your loss. She was very good to me throughout our years at St Thomas school. She and your father were supportive of me during a difficult time.
I'm thinking of you and your family as you navigate through grief. She is with God and at peace now .
