What a Magnificat woman! I cherish all my conversation with her. I was blessed to see her two years ago and we had another short conversation. May God's promise of eternal life be fulfilled and comfort all us you grieve her pass over.

Brenda, I am so, so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. She was a wonderful lady. She visited Sherri at Touro when she had Reed and was the first one to offer a blessing over him! She got there before Fr. Bughler. We recognized each other and had a nice visit. I know she is with the Lord and your Mom and mine will have a nice chat about their daughters. Hugs and prayers sent to you, Drea, Stacey and Kyle.
