Dear James, Thomas, Richard, and Family,
As the Director of Alumni Relations Emeritus at Saint Viator High School, I offer you the sympathy and prayers of the Saint Viator high school community.
Our hearts go out to you as you move through your journey of grief. We pray for you as you share the stories...laugh and cry...and find ways to celebrate the life of your Mother and the love you shared.
As I read the obituary about this “Beloved wife…loving mother…adored grandmother…cherished great grandmother…loving aunt and friend to many,” an adaptation of a reading from the Book of Sirach came to mind.
“Let us praise an illustrious woman,
faithful to her family and friends, strong in her love.
At peace in her heart and her world,
she has left us her good name, and we recount her life of praiseworthy deeds.
A generous woman her good works will never be forgotten.
Among her family and friends remains a rich inheritance born of her….
Her name lives on from generation to generation.
We gather to sing her praises.
We proclaim her wisdom and love of life all our days.”
May you be comforted by the fact that death cannot take away the love, the memories, the faith!
May the knowledge your Mother lives on in your goodness give you peace and hope.
Take care and God bless you with the gifts you most need!
Judith
