Dear Mary, Louise and family,
We are so truly sorry to learn of your mother’s death especially when we saw her recently at a vesper service when the choir sang. She was so happy to see us and we had a very nice chat. She looked and seemed so very good.
We pray that the Lord will send you His blessings and grace to sustain you through this difficult time of your bereavement. We have been remembering Cora in our daily prayers and weekly Holy Communions on Sundays.
We will not forget her because her birthday, February 21, was a few days before Marjorie’s, February 23.
Love, Louis and Marjorie Mandes

Mr. and Mrs. Fritz, Dennis, Jean and families,
  So very sorry to hear of your loss.
Tony, Krissie Aulicino and family
