The Kenosha Catholic Woman's Club sends its sincere sympathy to the family of Edith Rieschl. She has been a longtime member of the CWC, but we lost track of her for the last two years. We have arranged to have a Mass said for Edith at St. James Catholic Church in Kenosha on Friday, Sept. 21, 2007, at 5:15 P.M. Edith will also be honored at our Lenten Mass at the Kenosha Woman's Club on March 15, 2008, along with the other members who died since the previous CWC Lenten Mass.Our prayers are with Edith and her family.
