Oh my I just don’t know what say. I just talked with her a little while back. She was one of my best friends in school. We were planning on meeting up. I’m so sorry that Margie left you. She is in a better place and has been reunited with her husband. May God give you peace and help through this. God bless us all.

No words can express our sincerest sympathy on the passing of your wonderful mother. She was a beloved member of St. Philip’s and did so much for the Church, both in her volunteer work as well as her spiritual life. May her soul and all the souls in purgatory rest in peace and may you be comforted in knowing she is together again with her beloved Elvin.
