Ricky, Katie, Jenny and Robbie,
I heard about your Mom this morning after reading the St.MM newsletter. I am so sorry to hear the news of her passing. Growing up I felt so much apart of the family. Seems I was always there or you at my house Ricky. I will keep all of you in my prayers as you adjust to the loss of a great lady. After my parents passing I find great comfort in knowing they are only gone physically, but they are always with us when we need to pray or just remember them and their influence on our lives.
Love you guys,Alex Kawa and Family
