Very sorry to hear about your Mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I never met Mrs Rafferty but from Tom's stories she sounded like one of a kind.

Dear Tom and Family,

Ann and I, especially Ann, have been so blessed to know Anne and your wonderful family this past year and a half. We are also feeling the pain of Anne's passing, but we know that she was in Heaven yesterday for the Feast of All Saints. Ann has always been astounded that Anne never complained about her illness or pains. Please know that we love you all and will keep you in our prayers always. God bless!

With deepest sympathy,

Harry & Ann Strahlendorf
