Sending our sincere condolences to the family of the late Minnie O'Sullivan. We are saddened to hear of Minnie's passing. Minnie was a wonderful person. She was so caring and always has a smile. She never missed a Christmas card & letter inside her card asking about our family. When she moved away. Quite often she would call me and we would chat. She was a CWL executive member for many years. In fact when Minnie was leaving Yellowknife for Edmonton she trained me to do her CWL treasurer 's job. It was my first meeting and Minnie said Theresa can do it. I accepted the job. All because It was Minnie. She said you will be the Parish & the diocesan treasurer.I said oh my Minnie I am not sure if I can do that. She swore I could. I did, thanks Minnie.
Our family admired your work with the church and the CWL. You will be missed by many. May you rest in peace dear friend.
