Great Grandma Bauer

 Tom's wonderful grandmother died tragically at the age of 97
in a car accident Saturday.
(here she is holding Sweetie Pie here, 3 years ago, at age 94)
 She was so full of spunk and life
Here's Tom, his mom and her mom, Great Grandma, holding Sweetie Pie
We love and miss you so very much.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon her
May her soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed
rest in peace.

  16. Jamie, I tried so hard but I just couldn't make it to the funeral yesterday. I'm so sorry for all of you, but you know she loves where she is now! You'll have to let me know what you thought of my church and my priest!

    1. Thank you so much Paula! Funny story...I got to the funeral Mass, but at the first reading, realized I forgot the nipple Simeon needed at home, drying on the counter....left pretty abruptly and drove home (in the snow/rain) and drove back again, in time for the luncheon.

      (I was on the road a total of 3 hours)

      Tom liked the priest though, he said that he told everyone that we, as Catholics believe this is the Body and Blood of Jesus, and if you do not believe this, please do not receive (or something like that...Tom loved that, even though, his whole family, who are not Catholic, received anyway!!! (his mom is a practicing Catholic) Tom was upset by that...I guess I don't understand either. Good for the priest though! Both Tom and I feel that, if we went to another religion for a funeral or whatever, we would not participate and would not feel funny.

      I actually went to that parish as a little kiddo, we lived in the country of your hometown, went to school in the P-ton city...which we later joined (P-ton) Beautiful church, Jesus front and center, where He should be.
