to Annie and the Engelerdt family – I am thinking of you today as you attend the rosary and funeral mass, and know that there will be tears for the loss you are feeling. But I am sure that there will be some wonderful memories shared at the reception, and you can celebrate your Mom’s wonderful life. Thinking of you all, and sending paryers and love. Trish Maguire
