Linus Barloon II wrote a sympathy message

“I was blessed to have not only met Mary, but to have brought her our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion on Sunday at the Gainesville Rehab Center. We had many great chats, laughs and she always spoke fondly of her family. May our Blessed Mother and St Michael the Archangel escort her to the arms of our Blessed Lord so she may rejoice in peace for eternity. May God continue to bless her family during this difficult time. Deacon Linus J Barloon II, Holy Trinity Catholic Church”
