Dear Kathleen,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I loved to sit behind the two of you at 9:00 o'clock Mass every day - what a beautiful couple. We lost our Rosie also on June 8th. Now God has two more beautiful people in heaven and cancer can cause neither one of them more pain.
You are in my prayers.
