Dear Jody and Mikie and family, We wish you comfort and peace at the death of your mom, Norma. She loved you so deeply and missed you so much, the same with her grandchildren. When we visited her at the Willow’s, we had fun talking about the past when she and Louie would play cards with Fritz and me, stories about the kids, yours and ours. Since her falls, she would want to know about my husband now, John and our big family, always knowing John by name, always telling us about you and what you were doing asking about the new babies in our family. What an example with her prayer life and other many talents. She loved and cared so much about others, was a great cheerleader for others. We thank God for the gift of your sweet and wonderful, sometimes sassy mom 😊 and friend to so many. We will miss her too! We grieve with you and for you. May God comfort you in your loss. As faith tells us, your loved ones life has changed not ended. She will love you forever from heaven’s beautiful view. May dear Norma rest in peace. With much love, sympathy and prayers, John and Barb Kehres-McKinley

Jody, you have my sympathy. Your mom was a fine lady and I loved chatting with her when I'd drop off a 'bingo dessert' for her to take to the bingo kitchen. I've been at the St. Bernard Church Office for 25 years, so I have had interactions with your mom as a parishioner over the years too. She will be missed. And, it's been so many years since I've seen you--I hope you are doing well.

Jody, Mike and family, I remember your Mom fondly as a lunch and recess monitor at Mother of Sorrows school. Years later as a guest at your house for dinner as Mike and I were good friends. May your strong faith and the love of family and friends be of comfort to you at his time. God Bless.
