Dear Family of Elaine,
I offer all of you my sympathy and prayers at the death of your beloved Mother. May God grant her full peace, joy, and happiness now in Heaven. I also pray for God to grant all of you comfort and strength in this time of loss and death. I will offer Mass for Elaine. We know she is now reunited with beloved Roilly.
I thank God for the life of Elaine. What a great Lady she was, what a gift to her beloved Rolly, all of you, and so many others. I was privileged to share many years with her and Rolly as Spiritual Assistant with the Marianist Affiliates of greater Milwaukee. She was always so gracious, kind and loving, smiling and helpful in so many ways.
Blessings upon all of you.
In the names of Jesus and Mary, patrons of the Marianist Familiy,
Father Al McMenamy, S.M.
.I am Rollys first cousin and we always continued our friendship. Our ages were two weeks apart and I just thanked her for remembering my birthday.. We often talked about her precious family and her many great-grandchildren. Thank you all in her family for the happiness you gave her. Your sorrow will be replaced with memories of a unique, wonderful woman. I too will miss her dearly.
