Send Condolences/Message to Family

 

I feel very sad today as you suffer the pain of separation from "Aunt Laura", as those of us who are close to Francis always think of and call her. Jane, I know that your heart must be broken, I am so sorry for your loss. And, dear Francis, my brother I could see the pain in your heart. Please know that I would love to be able to ease the pain but know that only Faith and time can do that. However, we do believe in the unbelievable joy that you will experience one day when we you meet her (and the many others who have gone) in the fullness of the Kingdom. I feel impotent before your suffering but I want you to know that I stand with you both and the whole family and that my prayers and masses are for "Aunt Laura" and for you. Ronnie (Fr. Ronald E. Bonneau, C.Ss.R.)
