Some months back I asked for prayers for my wife Jane and niece Diane. Both were facing long odds to survive serious medical conditions. Last Sunday September 21, my dear wife Jane passed on to her heavenly reward. Jane was a faithful Catholic and a loving wife and mother. She was in the state of grace and I am comforted by that acknowledge. Jane had been in various hospitals and facilities for the last 18 weeks; and all of the medical problems that arose made fighting her stage 4 uterine cancer impossible.
