I offered Mass this morning in thanksgiving for Marguerite. She was a generous help for many years to the pastoral care of St E patients and a wonderful example, to all who knew her, of genuine concern for others by her way of life.

One of the most outstanding, spiritual, hardworking persons I have met. She has taught me so much. When there was a job to do Marguerite would get it done. Thank you Marguerite for everything.
