Dear Beth & family, I remember Violet from her many times at SJC – always gracious and with a ready smile. The fact that her love of sports cars was the first descriptor tells me that she possessed a joy for life. Those memories are sure to bring you comfort – and smiles. Our loving God is welcoming Violet with open arms.
Dear Rose and Jim, thank you for your kind remembrances of my sweet Mom, and for all the Divine Mercy chaplets you have been praying for her. She truly had a zest for life — the photo you see of her was taken in an antique car driven by my nephew. You can see the joy on her face. She loved all cars, especially fast ones! She will be missed.
Dear Beth and Family,
I enjoyed reading about your mother. She sounds like a real character with her love of sports cars. Mothers give us life and unconditional love. Rest in the comfort that she is with Our Lord giving thanks for all that you did to care for her. May she rest in peace for all eternity.

Dear Pat and Jack, your words give me great comfort, and the chaplets you have been praying for my Mom have been greatly appreciated! I’m so thankful for you and the prayer warriors who have been blanketing her with prayers these past few months. My Mom prayed her rosary at least once a day and I know that she was grateful for your prayers when she was struggling and is certainly grateful for them now. Thank you!
Our Divine Mercy prayers continue for you and your family.
Dear Beth and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I remember your Mom attending the LT high school football games! May my Mom welcome your Mom into heaven…..
Dear Julia, we share a loss that is so very painful — the passing of our sweet Moms. I’m sure that they are getting acquainted with each other in heaven — sharing stories about their daughters and their grandchildren. The thought of that makes me smile. Thank you for your sentiments and for your prayers.
Beth:
Our boys, Andy and I remember your mother so fondly! Our sympathy and prayers go to you and the family. Stay safe and well!

Dearest Beth and Family,
No matter how hard to try to prepare – you are never ready for this loss.
The loss of a mother is a hole that cannot be filled by anything else. It’s a piece of a heart that is gone. May God fill that hole and bring you great peace and comfort each day. Remember the laughs and her smile. You are her legacy. She is a gift to you always. Through the tears, remember the joy and strength. You are dearly loved – my friend. God has her in heaven.
