I loved Marianne very much. I’m glad she lived such a long life. Always classy! She made my 18 years at Holy Cross very enjoyable. What a friend. I will always have beautiful thoughts about her. I’m sorry I heard about her passing so late. God Bless her family.
Shelly,
I was saddened to find that your mother had passed away. She was a warm and loving woman who did a great job raising your family. I know she had a special place in your heart. Please give my kindest wishes to all your brothers and sisters in this difficult time.

Thinking of the Wendling family at this time. Thank you for the wonderful “Murn” memories.
Dear Melody and family,
The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. Romans 8:26-27.
With much love for you all,
Gwen Walton
