To: son, William – My deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. She was a dear lady whom I remember from years ago when you were a student at St. Jane Frances school, and I was your fourth grade teacher (Miss Juliana). She had a lovely smile and very pleasant personality that left a lasting impression. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family at this sad time.

Dearest Bill, Pat and Family
It’s hard to say who resembles Your Mom more: Bill or Pat! What a beautiful countenance!!
St. Margaret Jane entered her 5th Day on the Memorial of St. Adalbert. That is one of three Catholic Churches in Philly’s Port Richmond where our Father was raised. SInce You Two celebrated our Father’s funeral, this Memorial Day is a sign for our Family that Margaret Jane is now a new Heavenly Advocate for Lady Jane.
We are asking that Lady Jane be “allowed” to attend Your Mom’s funeral Mass. Yet government will likely say “No” or ignore this celebration request for Eternal Life. While the laity cannot formally canonize anyone, and I know I can speak for Lady Jane from both of our hearts, Lady Margaret Jane must certainly be in the Company of Christ Jesus and Mary Blue.
With Love from The Shegda Family
