We're very sorry to learn of your recent loss of both parents, Michael & family. We wondered why we have not been seeing them at Blessed Sacrament Church recently. (We remember you from way back when you'd crawl around under the pew kneelers in church as a toddler and your Mom was so patient.) May God grant you support and peace during this difficult time. And remember that they are watching over you all, awaiting your request for help whenever it's needed.
Love, Pat & Al Beronio
