Mary Frances & Leonardo Bertucci

We are saddened by June's passing but, at the same time, deliriously happy for her in her new home, Paradise with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. As she looks down from above we pray that all those left behind will pursue her same passion for His love and seek Him always through the sacraments of the Catholic Church. Nothing makes the angels sing more than the faithful returning to worship Him in the Mass and partaking in the Most Holy Eucharist therein. Our very best to all the remaining family members. Wish we could be with ya'll as you celebrate her funeral Mass. God bless and keep you always. Mary Frances and Leonardo Bertucci
