Diane,
Your mother was a gracious woman who always had a ready smile for all around her. I've missed sitting behind her in church but I will always remember how warmly she greeted me each time we saw each other.

As long as you have your memories, she will never be far.

You and your entire family are in my heart and in my prayers.

Dear Diane,
We are truly at a loss for the right words to express our heartfelt sadness for you and your family.

We had the blessed opportunity of knowing your mother through speaking with her each week at Saint Francis.

We are confident that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ has welcomed her home.

You are a part of your mother and your mother is a part of you. She will be with you always.

"The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and rescues those whose spirit is crushed."
Ps. 34-18

We are so very sorry for your loss and will continue to keep you and yours in our prayers.

In sympathy,
