Mike, Myron and Dan:



I am writing to express my sympathy to you at this time of great personal loss. I regret that I am not able to attend the wake and funeral to be with you in prayer. Please know that I sent your mother's obituary to Father Schwantes at the Jesuit Retreat House so that the community can remember her and your family in their prayers. God's consolation and peace.

Edna McCormack was a true inspiration to her family, her community and to her Catholic faith. All of us will miss her and remember her many kindnesses and her great sense of humor. No doubt she and her mother will improve the chocolate chip cookies in heaven.
