John,
So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Was quite surprised to see her name on the board at work, especially after just seeing you and Wanda on Sunday. My prayers are with you and your family. Take care!

I grew up and was best friends with Patricia. I am so sorry for your loss. I heard this quote a few years ago. "We don't cry because we have lost someone, we cry for we were left behind".

I grew up with Pauline next door. I always loved going over to see what "Grandma" Pauline was doing. I will never forget her strength and her prayers. She would always pray for my family when we were in need. So it is my turn to pray for her family in their time of need. Know that she will be greatly missed by the Morris family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
Love and Prayer,
Amy

We are all very sorry for the loss of one of our St. Ambrose family members and offer our condolences. Never had the pleasure of meeting your mother when we were classmates, but Blessed you were with the many years she was with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. When your mother passes away, part of you go with her. All of her love stays with you. I remember all the nights I stayed in her home during senior year of high school. I also remember all the gray hairs Jane and I must have caused. Oh, the memories! My love and prayers go out to the family.

I worked with Pauline several years ago at First Interstate Systems. She was very kind & sweet. I was newley married & she would talk to me about her husband & marriage. She gave me some very good advice once that has always stuck with me. I have thought of her often over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
