Our sympathies to Ann’s family. She was a woman dedicated to her family and her faith. She touched many people through the various ministries that she served. We were blessed to get to know Ann through Vincentian work. She cared deeply for those in need, a wonderful example to so many. May she rest in God’s peace.
Ann, will be fondly remembered as giving and caring woman. She was always close to her faith and lived her faith as well. Her reward will certainly be in Heaven for all her tireless work on St. Brendan’s Giving Tree, SPRED and St. Vincent de Paul Society. My sincere sympathy to her family, and I hope you find peace in many fond memories of her.
May your memories and Gods words
found in 2 Corinthians 1:2-4 give you
the comfort you need at this time.
With my sincere and deepest condolences.
So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was a good woman. You are all in my prayers
