Joanne,
I was so sorry to learn on Sunday when I attended Mass at St. John's that your mother had died. I saw her name as one of the Mass intentions. You were both so close that I know this has been a terrible loss for you, even though she lived a full, long life. Please accept my sincere sympathy for you and all of your family. She was such an integral part of your lives that this separation has to be so difficult. You all will be in my prayers as you are adjusting to this loss.
