Maryetta Dussourd fought not only for her children and nephews, but for all innocent children. How can a Christian minister (priest) serve others if his hands are not pure, if he is not a man of integrity? She was courageous and brave to fight for justice! She recommended herself to every human conscience in the sight of God! May the God of all comfort be with her family and friends.

Please accept my condolences over your loss of such a courageous person. No doubt the desire to set matters straight is what drove her to take on the mammoth sized organization as the Catholic church. It is also our heavenly Father's desire to set matters straight with all mankind on this earth which he will accomplish through His heavenly kingdom. (Matthew 6:10)

The world needed to hear Maryetta. Thanks to Almighty God for giving her the courage to seek justice. What a blessing her courageous acts have brought to so many children worldwide. She followed Jesus Christ's example of when he (John 2:14,15) "found in the temple those selling cattle...and the money brokers in their seats. So after making a whip of ropes, he drove all those....out of the temple" then he said in John 2:16, "Take these things away from here!". Her work was not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). Thank you.
