Doylene, Gail & Nancy,

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. Her legacy has left many tangible works, but none greater than her daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. May her strength in life guide you through her passing. I am sorry that I could not be there for her mass but I wanted you to know that you are in my prayers.
