Mary, we are so sad to hear of your loss. You've been a constant presence at St Therese and your devotion has been amazing. One of my favourite memories of John will be the time he smiled when I teased him about Joyce "stealing" his food (just last month). You are in our thoughts and prayers Mary. We know John will be missed!
