Dr. Conroy called me today, Dr. O'Shaughnessy to tell me of your mother's death. I am so very sorry and know what a terrible loss this is for you. Know you and your family are in my prayers and thoughts. I have been so grateful for the wonderful care you gave me and miss that. I am having surgery tomorrow for acid reflux and would ask your prayers. Take care and know your mother is in a very wonderful place and filled with happiness and joy. I will keep you in prayer.

We were saddened to hear of Darlene's death. Although we didn't see her often, we did manage to have lunch when one of our classmates living out of state came for a visit. Our sympathies to her family. Our prayers are with you at this time.

We read of Darlene's death on our website. We were so sorry. We had planned to have lunch for so many summers now and never did get to it. She was such a good friend. We will miss hearing from her. Our Prayers are with you now in this sad time.

Dear Ray and family,

I read the sad news of Darlene's death on the

website for the Pioneer Press, and wish to send

my deepest sympathies to each and all of you.



I have a custom when a friend dies of trying to

celebrate my Mass Liturgy about the same

time as the Funeral Mass.



So tomorrow, Wednesday, out here in California

I shall be celebrating Mass c. 9:00 am and will

be with you in spirit and prayer.



Naturally, I shall be thinking of Darlene ----- most

especially of all her great sense of fun and laughter.
