We always enjoyed seeing her at 4pm Mass and I often thought how wonderful it was for her to see her son serving the Lord on the altar. She will get back at you, however, for often sharing her age with the congregation on her birthday. ;) May the peace of Christ fill your hearts as grieve your loss and give thanks for her faithful entry into heaven.
