I still hadn't gotten over the loss of Sandy and now to lose Carol really effected me. My heart goes out to your family. Both have been in my prayers. I recently sent Carole a healing card. I hope she got it before she passed on. I will not send another Mass card to you her family. She was a sweetheart and she will be missed. We had some other members of our pino club that passed on previously that they were close to, so am hoping they are all together up there in heaven having a good pinochle game. My hearts and prayers go out to you the family. I will continue praying for both of them. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends.Lee Daleo (Misty)

An Irish Prayer for my mother...Author UnknownYou can only have one motherPatient kind and true;No other friend in all the world,Will be the same to you.When other friends forsake you,To mother you will return,For all her loving kindness,She asks nothing in return.As we look upon her picture,Sweet memories we recall,Of a face so full of sunshine,And a smile for one and all.Sweet Jesus, take this message,To our dear mother up above;Tell her how we miss her,And give her all our love.Mom...I miss you so much. The hurt I feel is the kind that only you could take away. I find comfort in knowing that you are forever in peace at home with Jesus.All My Love,Trish the Dish
