To the O'Connor Family,

There are simply no words that I can express to share my sadness in the loss of your beloved mother, grandmother, sister and friend.

As a family friend for more than 50 years, I wanted to offer my heartfelt condolences. May you find comfort in those that surround you and peace in the many wonderful memories you have made through the years, particularly in our days at St. Peter's Parish.

Please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
