    Evie and Family,

    Please accept my sincere sympathy in the loss of your beloved Mother. She was a kind and sweet person. It was a privilege for me and Mary Stevens to bring her Holy Communion and say the Rosary with her recently. She wanted to know what was going on with CDA. She inspired us with her deep faith and her bravery. May Our Lord have mercy on her soul and may He grant you His gentle peace.

    Love & Prayers,
    Brenda
