What great memories we have of our group of 10, planning events for Christ the King School, all our parties, barbecues (including Father Leonce), our discussions, not always agreeing. All these memories are very much alive in us and will continue to be. Betty, you will be fine, you are a strong person and a good friend. - Posted by: Ron & Eva Haddad (Friend) on: Nov 28, 2015
