Dear Wayne and Family- I was so sorry to learn of your wife’s passing. She was my Sunday school teacher at St. Peter’s when I was a kid and she was my classmate and friend, George’s big sister. She was always kind and understanding with a bunch of rowdy boys she had to teach and supervise. She was then and remained a beautiful woman in every way. She always had her faith and I’m sure she had it at the end, the beginning of her new life. I am so sorry that she has gone, but you have the reassurance of where she is, patiently awaiting a family reunion.
