Mrs. Duck and family;
I am deeply sadden by the passing of Mr. Duck. I will never forget how much he has touched our lives and made so many of us laugh. The best memory I have is when Mr. Duck, Mr. Samari and dad played Santa at one of the St. Victor's functions. May he always be a Santa to all of us.
Love Always,
Julie & Vern & family

How blessed I am to have known you and how blessed I am, now, to have you intercede for me in heaven. Thank you for founding our Lay Carmelite Community at Christ the King. Like Therese, I count on you spending your heaven doing good on earth. Please continue to mentor us. We promise to take good care of Sue. (And you and Bud behave yourselves up there!)
I love you!
Marian
