Dear Janet, Sue, Mike and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss of your mom. So many memories of her and your family from Mt. Greenwood & Queen of Martyrs and from Evergreen Park once she became part of the Holy Redeemer family, too. She touched so many lives as a mom, friend and teacher. Sending hugs and comfort to all of you.
