Dear Gilda, Please accept the condolences and sympathy of all of us at St. Michael's in Old Town Chicago. Your mom and dad are together and if they were " bigger than life" before, they surely are even moreso now. Belonging to the Communion of Saints, they watch over us and intercede for us. From your Redemptorist Family...
