Dear Fasen Cousins,
I am sad to hear about the loss of your dear sibling, Laura. I have a snapshot memory of Laura at 6 months, but so few encounters with her beyond that. Distance in miles and in age are the reasons, and I wish I would have known her better. When I visited Aunt Lila in at the Care Center, Laura was just leaving. I sensed that she was a regular visitor. I choose to think that she was very close to Jesus for all that she endured! I will tune in to her funeral Mass–how awesome is that–that we still have a way to be connected, to pray for Laura and to commit her to God’s keeping! Thank you for planning a Catholic funeral in spite of all the obstacles.
