My precious girl Erline. We sit together every time I am at Ste. Anne, and she immediately takes my hair down from my ponytail and runs her hands through it for hours on end. She is happy, so very gentle and compassionate. |

Fr. Rick, at morning mass, which is most often a funeral. He is committed to honoring the dead from the hospitals, giving them a dignified memorial and burial. "What they did not have in life we must give them in death - respect and peace." |
