To the family of Didi, I have you in my thoughts and prayers. Mary Rowe
March 30, 2011
Our dear Didi, how special were the times when we lived in St. Anne's Parrish, particularly the sing-a-longs at your house, singing in church and the many Cursillo activities. Things don't last, memories do. I first saw you when Dorothy first began taking me to mass and I would see the McIntosh family process single file into church and take their seats. It doesn't get better than that and it touches my life to this day. Final farewells are just so very hard. You surely did find and become the person you were meant to be. Godspeed Didi.

Any woman to birth and raise nine children is to be admired, and to continue on throughout the years as she did, with such spunk and spirit, is truly inspirational. I will forever be grateful to Didi for bringing my dear friend, Sally into this world. Both women are examples to me of the strength of a gentle heart. May peace be with all.

Didi (my mother) had many axioms she would speak often, a kind of compendium of her life experience and her faith translated into daily thoughts, which she imparted to her family and friends.
I call them "Didi's Beatitudes"
Blessed are the peacemakers..."put yourself in their shoes / what did you do to them first?"
Blessed are the poor in spirit... "we will just have to do without" and one's heart goes out to them - what can we do to help?"
Blessed are the downtrodden... "Take care of others and, when you need it most, someone will be there to take care of you"
Blessed are the little Children. . ."you were fearfully and wonderfully made / before your were formed in my womb, God knew you"
Ask and Ye shall receive... She often said "the Lord will provide" and, doing her part, "there's always another potato in the pot"
put your faith into action was her constant refrain and when called upon to help make sense of a personal setback, she would say "offer it up for someone less fortunate"
. . .Blessed are the pure of heart, dearest, Didi - for you shall see the face of God!
We miss you terribly, Mom. JJ

Oh, Didi, how we will miss you! You were such a good friend. What fun we had together with "the gang" at St. Anne's. "Them were the days!" Thanks for all the good memories. Hugh, you are surely in our prayers, along with all your children, grandchildren and greats. God bless you. Dick and Patti Burke
