Mary, When you need a loved one the most I believe with all my heart that they find a way to let you know how much they are with you. You called me an angel today but you my dear lady are the angel for allowing me to share my memories of your husband. I know as his passing you might wonder do people remember him.. yes, we do. Please know that the most beautiful legacy we leave is being remembered for our kindness and your husband was one of he most kind men to ever grace our world....

Chère Mary, je pense très fort à toi et serais heureuse de pouvoir t'écrire, mais je n'ai pas la nouvelle adresse postale! Je ne t'oublie pas et Pierre est toujours dans mes pensées. Il a rejoint Raymond,André....et tant d'autres êtres chers. Je t'embrasse très affectueusement, Muriel

Dear Mary, It does not seem possible that Pierre is entering his 5th year of eternal life. Likely, the possibility is directly connected to the reality that he is always here with us...in multiple remembrances held in joyful gratitude. Jean and I will never forget Pierre's giftedness in sharing life with us. The sharp edges of loss are continually being honed to gentleness with the passage of time. Yet, we miss him. Shalom and love, Fran...and Jean, too!

Bien qu'ayant appris tardivement le décès de Pierre, je voudrais exprimer ici mes sincères condoléances à son épouse Mary au nom des Anciens de l'Oeuvre du Bon Pasteur à Marseille que Pierre a longtemps fréquentée dans sa jeunesse après la seconde guerre mondiale.
Pendant ces années passées à l'Oeuvre, Pierre a été un exemple pour beaucoup de jeunes scouts ou coeurs-vaillants et il a contracté de nombreuses relations d'amitié avec les dirigeants des mouvements de jeunesse de l'Oeuvre du...

I think of Pierre so very often. I was with him mostly on our nine retreats together. I find myself talking about him so often at our weekly Centering Group. As I said in my first note when I heard about his entry into the Total Kingdom, I never met anyone so gifted by God in the area of discernment. I so needed him to make my decision to get married. He helped to free me from the Canonical chains which so tightly bound me. Like the Scriptures said about Jesus, Pierre went about doing good....

Pierre is ever present in our minds and hearts...and in the stories we tell about his unique giftedness as a spiritual director. I did not know him as well as Jean, who was graced to be one of Pierre's directs. With Pierre's gentle guidance, Jean could finally come to discern with deep peace what his next step in life would be. We remember well that time...the man...the goodness...the trust....the compassion. Who could ask or receive anything more? So, we pray to St. Pierre for continued...

Ce temps dévorant avance si vite et ... un an déjà que tu es parti cher Pierre alors qu'il semblerait que ce n'était qu'hier.Mes pensées très affectueuses vont à Mary à qui tu dois tant manquer.Malgré les kilomètres qui nous séparent je ne peux qu'être près d'elle par le coeur. Tu es toujours présent cher Pierre au travers des moments partagés, des évocations ...Que Notre Dame de la Garde, chère à Pierrot, veille sur toi chère Mary. Je t'embrasse très affectueusement

Mary: Thinking of you and sending love and prayer! What an amazing person you were blessed with on life's journey (as was Pierre)!! Karen McCaffrey Kane
