Condolences to all of Coco's family. I was a member of Holy Trinity Church when Coco was Parish Director and she was a friend who helped us plan our daughter's beautiful church wedding. Her leadership,energy,and way of dealing with people truly impressed me. My family was so happy to be part or her community. Coco truly gave us a vision of what could be accomplished under the Second Vatican call for action. She was a model for women who are needed in leadership roles within the Church.She will be missed.
