I am so thankful that my cousin John married such a steady and thoughtful wife.
Their hospitality was always so gracious
I miss the family I met in San Antonio when I anointed John.

What a joyous woman, at peace with herself! What gift
It was an honor to walk with her and her husband
I’ll remember her and her family at Mass
I remember the day I anointed John (Magee) at their home with most of the children, spouses and their children.
