“Mary, Lori and Lisa, i feel so sad about the passing of your mother. I have known your family for many years, your Dad Dave coached me, Mike and i were friends, Lori and i were classmates and your mother was always a beacon of kindness, beauty and selflessness. She was an amazing woman, we looked forward to seeing her at Mass at St Catherine's when we came back to KC. She epitomized Christ in her life and know that God's Perpetual Light is shining on her and your Dad forever! Tim Connole”

Her faithfulness was an inspiration and is certainly a comfort to her family, knowing that she is at peace with God.”
