Maria, Paul, and Mr. Pace--I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Maria, even though we haven't spoken to each other for such a long time, I still think of you quite often, and of what a great friend you were to me. I remember your mom coming to teach art classes at St. Columbkille :) My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Joe and family members,
Our deepest sympathy on your loss. We will always hold close the forty some years of Gilda's friendship in our hearts. She was the most giving person of herself than anyone I have ever met. She will be sincerely missed. God has called her home now to rest in peace.

Paul, I had no idea your Mom's middle name was Margaret. No wonder she was such a strong lady! Its in the name.
We will dearly miss your Mom. Eric and I have a picture hanging in the kitchen that she helped Eric make in the 3rd grade....
She left a wonderful legacy in you her children and now grandchildren.
All our love and sympathy to you, your Fahter, Maria and Aunt Josephine
