Wedding Day - August 3, 1978 at Basilica of St Mary in Minneapolis


My farmer... Patrick Verly came to the big city to marry me... only Catholic for 7 years after all 13 in my family converted to the Catholic Church! Pat had told his sisters that he would not marry anyone that wasn't Catholic... Wise to look for a spouse that he could share the most important part of his life with ... His faith! Another powerful thing about this picture is the fact that both of our siblings that have died are in it with us... My sister, Mary died in 1986 from Lymphoma cancer and Pat's brother, Don, was killed about 9 years later in Montana. This is a special keepsake for us to have them close to us and the tabernacle contianing the "Real Presence" with us. Thank you Jesus, and we lift up the souls of our dearly departed family.
