Would have loved to meet her. She sounded like a wonderful, lovely person. Andrea I pray that all the memories you have with her give you comfort. She was lucky to have you as a daughter and friend. And I’m sure you feel honored that God chose her to be your mother.
Sending our heartfelt condolences to the Wesemen family. As a kid in church at St. Joseph’s, I was always amazed at how the Weseman family took up a whole pew. I didn’t know your mom well but I feel like whenever I saw her, she was smiling. May your memories of her bring you peace &!comfort. Sending hugs, Erin Clifford Manning & Family
Andrea, John, Carla, Sophia, James, Phillip, and Lucia….I love all of you so much, and your Mother was so wonderful! I want you to know how much I care for all of you, and I understand what you are going through. I lost my Mother last Winter. Time will heal…be comforted that she is now in the glorious presence of God in heaven and we will all see her again!
Oh Andrea I am so sorry for your mother’s passing. When ones’ mother is gone there is a void that will never be replaced.
Prayers for you and your family and for your dad and of course for your mom
Your mother isn’t in pain or suffering in any more and We know she is in a better place with our Lord.
Diane was a wonderful mother and friend, always positive and full of creativity. It was through St. Joe’s school and Marriage Encounter we shared our lives. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, but especially by you.
Our sympathy and prayers.
