On behalf of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Alumni Association and Brother Martin High School, I offer our prayers and condolences. We will say a Mass in her memory.

Father of all, we pray to you for Lolita, and all those we love but see no longer. Grant to them eternal rest. Let light perpetually shine upon them. May her soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Sending my deepest condolences on the loss of your mom, she was a very special lady. She will be missed dearly. I can't put into proper words how dear she was to all of us inside and outside of work. She was simply the best. When something was wrong, she knew how to fix it. When we didn't know what to do, she did. When we needed a cheerleader, she had her pom poms ...real pom poms. I'm sending all my prayers and love to you and the family. She may be no longer in our physical presence, but her memory will live on in our hearts and lives. Rest in Peace Dear Lolita.
