Fr Comer was a close family friend of my mother-in-law and he presided our wedding ten years ago this summer.

I have fond memories of the brief time I got to know during our time in St. Louis. I'm thankful for the many wonderful memories of his humor as well as our interesting discussions about God and family. He will be missed.

Fr. Comer will be dearly missed at Mary Queen and Mother Center. He liked to joke and kid with the staff and the residents loved him. He was dedicated to not only serving the Lord, but serving our residents. God Bless.
