A Note of Thanks:
Dear PBOC Family,
Words
cannot express the gratitude both Ed and I felt for all the prayers that were
said and Masses celebrated for him during his 15-month fight with cancer. It was such a comfort to both of us knowing
so many people cared. May God bless you
all for your love and goodness. You
truly are my PBOC family.
