I Love you, Aunt Mary. You truly were a good and faithful servant.
To Mary’s Family,
I knew Mary from St. Therese of the Child Jesus Church where I have also attended for many years. She was not a big talker, but she always wore a smile when we spoke.
I am sorry I cannot attend her funeral Mass, but I will be remembering her soul in my prayers and her family, also.
May she rest in peace.
