Please say a prayer for one of my brothers and his family ... Pete died last night or this morning under less than great circumstances and leaves a wife and two daughters ... all of whom should be Catholic but aren't ....

Eternal rest grant unto him o Lord ....
=======================================
Maybe they are more Catholic than I thought. Mary, his wife, is having a rosary/wake at the Catholic Church in Redding on Sunday evening and a funeral Mass on Monday morning. Due to logistics, I won't be able to go, but as I'd be such a basket case my time is probably better served here with my littles and praying, praying, praying.

Thank you for all your prayers ... I know it's helping Mary get thru these days. Grief takes all of us so differently ...

Thanks for being here for me and mine!
