Some passing moments
We gave my mother a fine sendoff on April 2, 2002. My brothers selected readings from scripture, my oldest sister read "Trees" and I delivered a eulogy. All of us, my two brothers and two sisters and I, selected the hymns to be sung at the funeral Mass. The Mass was held in St. Patrick's church in Lowell, MA. This is the church which means the most to us as a family unit. We attended from January 1942 until sometime in the late 50's when my mother moved. Following the Mass, burial was in St. Patrick's Cemetery, close to another plot where her parents and brothers and sisters are buried. Following the brief internment prayers at the cemetery we had a luncheon at Jimmy's Four for 57 family and friends.
