Colleagues,

Please keep Ernestine Gardner and her family in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn the loss of her mother-in-law, who passed away after a short illness following complications from a surgery she had a few months ago. Her obituary can be found here.

There will be no viewing or funeral, since she elected to be cremated, but there will be a memorial Mass at her church on Feb. 22 and her ashes will be interred afterward in the little cemetery adjoining the church. If anyone wants to send flowers or cards, they can go to Ernestine’s house, 6428 Redenbacher Court, South Bend, IN 46614.
