Dear Cousin Eileen, Was so upset when Lewis called me, Bob was the best of the best and also to you, a real Gem. how many times he liked to say, “we were married in St. Rose Church” I know you both loved the church and how many times you came over for mass and our dinners. Mom and I will be there to see you and attend the funeral. My masses will be at St. Rose. God rest his soul now. Love, Paul K. Geers President of the Latin mass society of Quincy/Historic St. Rose Of Lima Church
