Sr. Therese, Donald, Marita
Please accept my sympathy. I knew your mother well. We had many good times togeher while my children were attending St. John's and I was secretary there. My daughter was at the wake. I wish I could have been there, but I live in Chandler AZ now. Your mother will be missed.

Hi, Marita and family. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember your mother fondly and and have often smiled as I think of her. I remember the conference we attended in Chicago . . . she had come along with you, and I remember how sweet she was conversing with Joseph over dinner at Joe's House of Blues (or something like that) and walking along Navy Pier in her stylish flings. She was such a delightful and classy lady. I hope your many wonderful memories and the promise of the reunion yet to come will give you comfort at this time. Take care . . .
