Thinking of you at this sad time Mummo. Father Joe sounds like a really nice man and what a lovely thought from your Sister.

My Dad died earlier this year and like your Mum was Catholic. We are, not but the Priest, who was new to the Parish and Canadian was wonderful and came after to the pub and spoke to everyone there. He was very kind and helpful to me and my Sister.

Thinking of you in the days and weeks to come. Treasure all your happy memories with your Mum.

Was thinking about you yesterday Mummo. What a kind gesture from your sister - something to treasure.

Had a chuckle about the priest on a Harley Davidson - bet your mom did too.

Hugs and love to you all

Mummo I've been thinking of you today and I'm glad to hear that there were some lighter moments to get you through a difficult day.
Father Joe sounds like a one off and I'm sure your Mum would have been proud of you all helping each other.

Take care.

Mummo,

What a sad day for you all but as you think back on it you will have a smile as you think of Father Joe and his motorcycle. Your sister has demonstrated what a wonderful family you must belong to, and how proud your Mum must have been of you all.

Love,
Elisabeth xx

I dont know you Mummo but that bought back lovely memories and a tear to the eye. Coming away from a funeral with a warm feeling in your heart and knowing you made your mum proud, means so much as i am sure you know.
Bless you, i am sure your mum is at peace today. Susan xxx
