Our prayers go out for Pope Francis and his legacy of a humble servant who helped the poor and disabled to find relevance in an irrelevant world. He will go down as one of the greatest Popes, and our prayers are with the family to carry on his wonderful legacy of service and humility

Dear Your Excellency,

Please accept my most heartfelt expressions of sorrow.

As a devoted parishioner of Holy Rosary Parish in The Archdiocese of Winnipeg Archidioecesis Vinnipegensis in the Papal Realm of His Grace the Most Reverend Richard J. Gagnon, Apostolic Administrator of my ecclesiastical province, I offer my intentions to Vatican City State Stato della Città del VaticanoStatus Civitatis Vaticanae as His Holiness Pope Francis I packs his suitcase with all the good deeds that the descendents of St. Peter the Apostle presented to The Anglican Communion as every other denomination and religion prepare for the passport of mankind's most holy disciple from earthly life into the heavenly banquet that the Only Begotten Son of God prepared for Him.

In the name of every valedictorian and from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, peace be with the Republic of India Bhrat Gaarjya.

Your Most Highly Sanctified Apostle,
Mr. P. Bialk

Resides in The Province of Manitoba in the Sacred Realm of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Camilla

My condolences go out to Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon, C.C., C.M.M., C.O.M., O.Q., C.D., Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada and His Excellency Whit G. Fraser, C.C. on the passing of The Honourable Thirty-Ninth President of the United States in Right of Her Excellency the Honourable Kamala D. Harris. May this time of transition comfort The Honourable Donald J. Trump Sr. and Mrs. Melania Trump (née Knavs), Corporal J. D. Vance and Mrs. Usha Chilukuri Vance (née Bala), the President- and Vice President-elect and the First- and Second Lady-designate of the United States of America in the Realm of His Excellency the Second Gentleman of the United States, and each resident on American soil and U.S. citizen, throughout the bereavement process as they pay their final respects to a gentleman who made the greatest impact on the lives that their greatest saint transformed before the husband of Eleanor Rosalynn (Smith) Carter was called to be reunited with him in heaven.
