Brother Francis and Family,
My deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. Be assured of my prayers for her and you at this time.

May the Father of mercies, the God of all consolation, be with you.

(I used to live in St Patrick's Parish)

Dear Jeanne, John and Family;
Knowing Aunt Tessie has been a rare privilege and it was through her that I met my best friend Jeanne. I will always treasure the time spent with Aunt Tessie, and I know my Mom will as well. Seeing how much she was loved and cared for by Jeanne and John was inspiring to both myself and all around us at Teresian House. I know I will miss Aunt Tessie but am happy knowing that she is finally with Aunt Stella - she has been looking for her for so long.
Love Josephine and Theresa
