Louis,
I'm sorry for these difficult days and can offer to you the source of strength you helped to teach each of us. For so long you could say by the day that your precious one was becoming more Jesus Christ than Mary Vic. Now the comfort is that she is like Jesus Christ because she sees Him as He is.
With His and my love, Mary Jo
