Mom, you were my “wonder woman”. If I could live my life with just half of your faith and strength I will be lucky. You are my inspiration. I know God spared my life with miraculous healing by your devotion of prayer to him for me. I always loved how I could hear you pray the rosary daily,and prayer after prayer for everyone. There is no greater expression of love and forgiveness then praying for someone. I am forever grateful for everything you have taught me, for the love you have shown me,Bill and our children. The loss we feel from your absence is bigger than I could ever explain. It was my honor and privilege to have taken care of you over the years. Rest in peace with dad, Richie and the rest of our family and dear friends, you have missed them all so much. Encountering each day with out you will be difficult. I love you so much, you will forever be in my heart.
