Rome and Family:
I am sorry to hear about Mary’s death. In all the years I have known her, she was kind, hysterically funny, and always made everyone around her feel good about themselves. I know everyone in my family truly liked and respected Mary for the person she was and for becoming the role model for so many, many more. I, for one, will miss her not being here. Take special care.

May she rest in peace, angels lead her to the bosom of Abraham and may the peace of God, which is beyond our understanding, come upon your family and remain in the days to come. In Christ’s peace, Dn. Rich
