Of times it appears a trick of fate or a great tragedy but truly it's a glorious mission into eternity. Excerpt from "There Is No Death", Marian Ackerman. Rosary May 15 6:00 pm, and Mass of Christian Burial May 16, 9:15 at Sangre de Christo Catholic Church, 8901 Candelaria Rd, NE, Albuquerque, NM 87112.
