Message:
Dear Mickey, Lenny, Brian, Cindy, Barbara, and Anthony: The nuns and I have been praying for Mary by name each day for a week at our Vespers at 5 PM. May her soul rest in peace. Michael, I was your classmate at Garfield School on Vine Street and Pittston HS. My sympathies to you especially. May Mary's dear soul rest in peace. "The strife is o'er, the battle is won." This life is temporary. The REAL one is on the other side. God bless you all. My love and prayers, Your cousin, Sister Josephine Palmeri, MPF at Villa Walsh Convent Morristown, NJ
