I am in St Elizabeth’s chapel praying for your mother Barb. She must have been a wonderful, intelligent, caring and loving mother and friend to many. Although she will be missed by you, remember her in your heart and in the heart of Jesus who is now enjoying her company. Bless you and find comfort in His love.
