Special prayers for Greta and her fine family. I always could count on her to guide me at so many meetings. She was always teaching lessons. She served the educational community at so many levels. She was a true leader at the CEA. She will be missed.

I am sorry for your loss. Greta was quite a lady! I knew her through CEA. She was a role model, friend, supporter and mentor. I had hoped to make it to Milford for her funeral but it is a long way snd with high Covid rates, it is best that I stay here. I will remember Greta and you at Mass. May she Rest In Peace.
