  1. Dear family,

    Your mom frequently attended the Communion Services I held at St. Elizabeth’s home and when she couldn’t I would bring her Holy Communion to her in her room. Two weeks ago I went to see her and she was sleeping in the chair. Today I learned of her passing.

    Your mom is an amazing woman and she has amazing children and great grand children. You all brought great joy to her heart. I’m sorry for your loss and I pray for you at the time of your loss and for the gentle repose of her soul.
