Mrs. Robitaille was a very special lady. I remember fondly making a trip to Luray Caverns with my dear friend, Lucy, & her lovely family. Any time I was a guest in their home, I was made to feel like one of the family. I know that Mrs. Robitaille now walks with Jesus & His Blessed Mother. I am honored to have known her.

Donalda and her daughter Therese have been our neighbors a few blocks away in Takoma Park for many years. We saw them often at daily and Sunday Mass at the local parish, and they were so generous in their concern for mission work in Africa done by our group. We send our prayers and Mass intentions for Donalda, and for Therese and all her family. We have very good memories of her. With sympathy and condolences to you,
S.M.A. Lay Missionaries (Steve Price, Fr. Dan Lynch SMA, Theresa Hicks)

Aunt Donalda was very special to me. When I was growing up, we would often visit her home and was always treated to yummy home cooking, always made from scratch, and a warmth that embraced all of us. I will never forget her smile, her great hugs, and how happy she always was to see us and share with us. She lived simply and loved so deeply and I will miss her very much.
