Dear Michael. How sorry I am to hear of the passing of your beautiful mother. What wonderful memories I have of being at her home and her wonderful cooking. We shared many a good conversations about our faith, and of course, how much she loved you. She will always be in my prayers. Love, Jane Ferrelli

Rosemary and Fr. Michael,

I am sorry about the loss of your mother. She was a favorite of mine since childhood. I always enjoyed her jovial and spunky personality. She will never be replaced and the last of the group of cousins who grew up on Pierce Street together. Whenever I think about her, I always smile. She will always be with you.

Sincerely,
Kristin Bressette Foberg (Kathryn´s daughter)
