Br. Adrian, Jim, and Billy:
Please accept my sympathies and assurance of prayers for your mother. She had a full life. She can say with St. Paul: I have run the race; I have kept the faith. A merited crown of righteousness awaits not only me but to all who have longed for his appearances.
I will offer the Mass of Christian Burial this Thursday along with Fr. Mark and many others at Subiaco.
May she rest in peace!
