My sincere condolences to the Gentile Family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.
I’m sorry to learn of the passing of Maria. Our sincere condolences to her family. Maria was the nursery caregiver for FPCLG and always had a warm smile on her face. Although my kids are now in their late 20’s I have fond memories of Maria and the care she provided to my kids and so many others. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
So sorry to hear of Maria’s death. She was a wonderful care-giver for the young children of First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange. She will be missed!
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Maria. My kids who are now 21 and 16 were cared for in the nursery of FPCLG as well as at Mom’s Day Out at the Methodist church by Maria. She was a kind and gentle soul. She was always so welcoming and patient with all of the kids. It was always nice chatting with her while dropping off and picking up. Our sincere condolences to her family during this time.
