Dear Paula,
So sorry your mom passed away. I still remember how mad she was when during a sleep over I ruined her jar of pickles by opening them too early. (Pickles are perfect in Heaven I hear) I pray you find God's peace in this.
Sincerely,
Tina (Iacchini)Stewart

Dear Carl, Paula, and Family:

May the Creator be with you as you go through this most difficult time.

May we all celebrate a great life that Mary led, and that we remember all those she has touched during her 69 years, as she continues her circle of life with Creator.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
