My deepest sympathy to your family with the loss of your mother. I worked at St Francis Church 10 years ago. Your mother was always a very reliable volunteer, ready, willing and able to do whatever job was needed to be done with a kind heart and lively spirit. God bless her and your family during this time of sorrow.
