Endless thanks!
I feel truly blessed that my birthday falls during such a holy time of year, always coinciding with Lent, Easter, and Passover. It makes everything feel even more meaningful and joyful.
A heartfelt thank you to the Martha and Mary Guild (Stephenville Crossing) and the Catholic Ladies’ Guild (George’s) for organizing such lovely birthday celebrations. My thanks to Karen Brumsey, Christine Merrigan, and Danny Conway for everything they did to make it all happen. I am also very grateful to Keith and Amanda Russell for the delicious cakes.
I want you to know that I read every single card I receive, and I keep them all at home in St. John's. One day, when I retire, I look forward to revisiting them and sharing the story of how loved I've been:
I was also incredibly touched that some of you even gave “double presents” to mark both occasions! I love it! But having you in my life means the most to me—your presence is the best gift I could ever ask for.
So special blessings and thanks to Daisy Alexander; Linda and Herman Alexander; the Assumption Parish Finance Committee; Sherry Bennett; Bernadette Bennett; Doreen Bennett; Nicole and Jack Bennett; Tina Bennett; Brian Brake and family; Helen and Martin Brake; Susan and Tom Brake; Janice Brennan; Karen Brumsey; Helen and Claude Butt; the Catholic Ladies’ Guild of St. Joseph’s Parish; Theresa Chubb; Shirley and Danny Conway; Sharon Cormier and family; Leonard Cornect; Amanda, Dwayne, Kayla, and Myah Downey; Annette and Shane Downey; Marie and Brian Downey; Terry Dunphy; Sis Fleming; Lena Gabriel; Odelle and Eugene Garnier; Linda and Mike Greene; Carol Ann and Andy Hickey; Karen Bennett Hodder; the Knights of Columbus of Stephenville Crossing; Barbara Ann Langill; Amanda, Ron, and Easton Lasaga; Cindy and Art Lasaga; Sylvia, Mark, and Stephanie Legge; Patricia Madore; Marie Marche; the Martha and Mary Guild of the Assumption Parish; John and Christine Merrigan; Mary Muise; Regina Ann Muise; Jeanetta and Gil O’Keefe; Ella O’Neill; Sharon Parsons; Linda Pieroway; Olivera Rubia; Denise and Gus Shae; Matilda Sharpe; Alma and Melvin Sheppard; St. Theresa (Flat Bay) Finance Committee; Martina and Calvin Swyers, with Nicolli and Milena; Barb and Andy Tobin; Linda and Roland Williams; Florence and Nolan Young; Liz Young; and Mercedes Young.
