My deepest sympathy to the James DiCola family in the death of their dear mom, mother-in-law, grandmother . I am certain Maria is very proud of each of you. I was sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you find comfort in the memories you hold dear, the love and care you showered Maria with in so many ways and the great promise of our faith.

Please know your family and all of Maria's family will be remembered in special prayer during our vesper services at my convent in Lemont.

In sympathy,

Sr.Mary Francis

Louisa and I knew each other since we were five years old. We went to kindergarten together and all through grade school at Chaney. We graduated from high school together. We always sat near each other since her last name started with a V and mine a Z. I talked to her not long ago when she was able to come home a few days from hospice. I will always miss you my dear friend.

We sat next to each other in High school. I have fond memories of Louisa. My God Bless you all in this sad time of your lives.
