Mom’s desire has always been for us to live our Catholic Faith and stay close as a family. She modeled and instilled those values in us. The fruit of her life remains living onward through her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Until we meet again Mom, may you Rest in Peace. “Well done good and faithful servant.” Mt. 25:21
