"My condolences to all of the family. It has been a long time since I have seen any of you but the memories I have are sweet ones. I remember your mother and dad and the wonderful family at St. Peters. I taught some of you in the 3 years that I taught with my mother at St. Peters School. I have retired after teaching for 40 years (that was 11 years ago). My God be your strength at this time of sadness. It is always difficult to loose a parent but you have so many memories to treasure. Rita (Bradley) Drach"
