Marie, Di and Lynn,
Arlene and I feel badly that illness has prevented us from being in Lockport to offer our sympathies in person and to help grieve your mother.
As I type this I think of the strong gentleness of person who was your mother and which reflects in the three of you. She was a strong independent loving wife and mother who was willing to listen with an open heart. She took people as they are and did not judge even though she had strong feelings and opinions.
She was a woman of deep faith which it often seemed like she carried in her back-pocket, able to be reached for in need. She carried that faith closer to her heart in later years. It was apparent when we met at Aunt Florence's 90th birthday party.
Today you feel the pain of loss but also the joy of knowing that your mother now lives in the joy of the Resurrection. Arlene and I pray that knowing this may be a comfort in your loss.
Love,
Jack and Arlene Dubay
