Harry, so sorry to hear of Joan’s death. I have wonderful memories of our talks and prayer times and sharing about the goodness of the Lord, whom she now sees face to face.
Dear Mommy,
You were such a wonderful mother and friend. I will miss you so.
Words cannot express my love and longing to talk with you again.
I loved our deep conversations of Faith, of family and love and so much more.
You worked so hard raising us all . All six of us plus one granddaughter.
What an amazing woman of faith you were. Toiling to the very end.
The one thing I will best remember about you is how you talk me to pray.
Especially, this morning offering to set each day.:
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, the reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer.
Thank you for your love and your unending prayers for us all. And now you can pray from Heaven for us. I feel lost without you.
I love you,
Love,
Barbara Your Daughter
