When the Lord sent our mother to earth, He left the gates opened for her return. As she walked the circle of life, she gave a part of herself to all she met. She fed us when we were hungry, prayed for us when we were in need and gave us unconditional love. The burdens she encountered were overshadowed by the love she kept in her heart for all her children. Today she completed her journey and is back in the arms of the Lord. When our time comes to cross over, Mother will be standing at the gates with her arms opened to welcome us into the home of our Lord. Mother, your memories will live with us forever and our prayers are with you. Viewing will take place at 10:00 a.m. followed by the funeral service at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 21 in the Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church, 252 Dubuc St., with Fr. Lucien Roy presiding.
