I am so sorry that my being a grandparent in Florida this weekend prevents me from attending the funeral. Nioma was a beautiful. endearing and lovable individual whose absence will be sorely missed by so many of her loved ones as well as those of us who shared the pews with her at Saturday evening Mass. Our prayers will be with you and with Nioma in the days ahead.
