To Barb, Bill, John and Joan my prayers are with all of you!. I have so many fond memories of all of our St Therese days. The times on snowmobiles and of course McDonalds. When I would make it back to Kenosha I always enjoyed talking to your Mother & Father at the St. Therese festival. I am sure Your Father welcomed your Mother into Heaven.
Patricia Ware says:
My prayers go out to all of you. Mary and Bill were two of the nicest people that I ever met. I always enjoyed talking to them at church. They will both be sorely missed. God bless them and all of you.
Bryan Opitz says:
Johnny, thanks for keeping us all in the loop.
Barb, Bill and Joanie, you all are family to us and we know how much you loved your Mother. Rightfully so. What a great woman. Edie and I look forward to seeing you all on Monday. In the meantime, you remain in our thoughts and prayers just as you have been for the past several months as Mom fought her battle.
May God Bless the Dohertys.
