Kevin, it was a privilege to attend the funeral Mass of your mother, Joan.

It was hard to top the celebration by the priests and the homily, however, the story shared by Joan's granddaughter and your brother were precious and memorable and clearly demonstrate the lasting and loving impact she had on your family and her 27 grandchildren!

We are certain Joan left the surly bonds of earth very proud of the family legacy she created and nurtured.
