Hi Marlene
I have been constantly trying to make progress for you for Wreaths across America for Veterans buried in Holy Mother of the Rosary Cemetery. Currently, I believe there are about 90.
I would really like to get something working for your parish this year and EARLY. Time waits for noone and I keep getting nowhere … but I DO want to get SOMEWHERE successfully for you this year.
