Peter R. Brotherhood - January 25, 2024

We are sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. I fondly remember her from St Peter's Court then she seemed to have disappeared when she moved from there. Also, I remember her from the Thursday Night Light meals. She was always friendly with us. For some reason she left St Peter's and we never heard from her again. May she rest in peace and rise in glory! Sincerely, Peter & Donna Brotherhood
