Dear Joe and Family,
My heart goes out to you. Marianne and I met as Associates of the Sisters of St. Chretienne. We shared many stories at our yearly retreat. Marriane's devotion to Mary the mother of God was quite remarkable. Her passion was R.C.I.A. and her love and concern for each person she guided to a new life in Christ. What a gift to have given so many people! Now that God has taken her home, she has left the physical pain of this world and is truly at peace. She will be missed by all of us - the Sisters of St. Chretienne and the Associates and our prayers and thoughts are with you Joe and your entire family. God Bless You.
