Jane Yancoskie

Unfortunately, I interrupt our blogging of the trip to Israel for other parish news.  Sadly, Jane Yancoskie died yesterday.  May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.  I already celebrated Mass for her this morning at the Church of the Agony on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

Born in Cokeburg, Pa., on May 27, 1938, she was the daughter of the late William H. Livingston and Alice G.
