Rosemary's Blessing:  

… May God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference
in this world, in your neighborhood,
so that you will courageously try
what you don't think you can do, but,
in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.

A Special Note from Cathy Bambanek 

My mom passed away Friday from congestive heart failure.  

Visitation is at 7:00PM-8 Tuesday, with a rosary at 8, more visitation until 9.  This is at Ted Dickey West on the George Bush Highway.

A funeral mass will be said at 10:30  Wednesday at St. Marks on 15th Street.  There will be a luncheon afterwards at the church and all are welcome to attend.  Then the cemetary at 1:30.  

I would love to have you come to any or all of them.

If you would like to bring something to the house, we need beer, wine, and appetizers to serve to relatives coming from out of town.  They will only be here Tues and Wed, so we do not need a lot of food.

My address is 2505 heather hill lane.

Thanks to all of you for being great friends.  Please pray for my family at this stressful time.

(Sorry, Cathy, I did not get this before publishing the Sunday blog.)
