The story goes that Mom and Aunt Mariette were on the teeter totter when a spooky howl came from behind the fence. Jumping off and running to the house for safety, the girls were soon followed by a laughing Uncle Morris. Brothers, sisters, family... may we keep each other honored in life and after. Peace.

Celia, Clarence and Gail...I am so sorry to hear of Uncle "Mo" passing. Aunt Catherine and Uncle Mo were my godparents. He is with Mom, Aunt Catherine, Memere, Pepere and Uncle Zam right now - probably having a good time chatting about the good old times...I will remember him in my prayers. God Bless You All...Love - Gisele

Dear Uncle Maurice, I will miss you and hearing all your fascinating stories of being overseas. My father always told me other stories about how you were always there to lend a hand. And I remember bumping into you at the Sacred Heart Feast where everyone knew you and cared for you. Heaven awaits. All my love, Maria
