Dear John and family, I am sorry to learn about the death of Barbara - our classmate from the class of 1952. Even though I only spent one year with all of you I keep you all in prayer. My special prayers go up for Barbara, and that all of you will feel the healing hand of God. Peace - Fr. Leon Flaherty, C.PP.S.
