I remember
Edith and her husband taking care of their grandchildren so faithfully bringing them to so many social events at OLGC school. Such a great grandmother! May God be with her as she watches over her family from heaven above. Sr. Rosemarie

Aunt Dee was feminine, graceful and kind, and she never spoke a bad word about anyone. It makes this mother's day very reflective and a great tribute about all she instilled in others. Every parent should leave the next generation better, and her children are a great legacy to her influence. I've never heard a complaint about anything from her patient spirit. She loved being with her sisters and shared many stories of growing up in Philly. We will miss her but her example lives on in all the lives she touched. Laurie P.

Drs. Bill and Ron Berna and families - I didn't have the pleasure of knowing your beautiful mother, but she obviously lived a full and productive life. I too lost my mom a few years ago, and I still miss her keen and timely life lessons and advice. This hurt will pass in time, and the great memories of your mom will remain forever. RIP Mrs. Berna.
