Joanne, Loved to pray for everyone. She said the rosary daily. She was a very faithful catholic. The sacraments were very important to her. She wanted to be as close to God as possible. She was very excited about hopefully going straight to heaven and seeing God face to face and meeting his mother as well.
Joanne may God grant you eternal salvation! Love, Gerrie
