Tom:
You and your family are in my prayers as you mourn the loss of your mother.

I notice that the burial will be in Montreal. May that trip bring comfort.

As we approach Easter, may the Lord bless you with His love and peace.

I am so sorry for your loss! If I am not mistaken, your mother taught me in Sunday School many years ago at St. Matthias. I also remember Marianne very fondly. Both women were devout Christian women who I looked up to and they led their lives by example.
