Dear Ken and family,

Your mother was a constant in the years we shared at St. Joseph and beyond. Such a good friend to my parents, she had a bright personality and a wonderful sense of humor. She will remain in our memory, perfectly dressed and perfectly coiffed with that wonderful warm smile! Wishing you all peace.
