Dear Irene and Maura,

I was looking for Maura since Kim moved back to Cleveland from California. Kim wanted to reconnect. I came across this obituary. I'm so sorry for your loss. You were always there for me. I'd love to get together. I am on facebook and live in Sandusky by cedar point now. Again, so sorry for your loss.

Mass of Remembrance at St. Wendelin Parish on Monday, November 2nd at 7pm, the Feast of All Souls. Your loved one will be remembered with a rose your family matt bring up to the altar during the liturgy. Please come to honor your loved one and to experience fellowship with others who have lost loved ones this year as well. A reception will follow the Liturgy in the rectory building (no steps).

Dear Kathleen, Betty Ann, Irene and Maura

I'm so sorry I was unable to attend the Funeral Mass for Richard.
You have my deepest sympathy and are in my thoughts and prayers.

My memories of Richard James (that's what we called him)are of a sweet young boy and brother of my best friend Kathleen. I truly wish I knew him as an adult,but distance did not allow for that.
My deepest sympathy to his wife, Irene daughter, Maura and to his very special sisters, Kathleen and Betty Ann.
Thoughts are with you at this very sad time.
Love and prayers,
Marylou Peterson

Dear Kathleen,
I am so sorry to hear of your brother's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences. I will be praying for you and your family during this very difficult time.
