My condolences to the family and friends and care-givers. I only had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Daumer once, but I felt like I got to know her through other members of St. John Bosco Altar & Rosary/Eucharistic Ministers & one of her care-givers. May God bless her & keep her safe in his loving arms.
