Father Fran and Trish, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved brother. He was truly a man of God and was a teacher to me. I am sure he is now in the arms of Jesus. My prayers are for both of you that in the days and months ahead, when you feel his absence so deeply, that you will be surrounded with peace and blest with fond memories of him. May God Bless you both.
Father Fred was a very special man in my life. He taught ccd at St Cecilia's when I was a teenager. He left a hole in my heart when he left us. Surprisingly enough he "just happened " to be at St Cecilia's on our wedding day. It was just like he knew we wanted him to be there. He also "just happened " to be there when each of our children were baptized. Like God told him to be there to share our happiness. He was always a tough one to keep track of! May God hold him in his heart on his next journey as we have held him in our hearts in life.
I pray for his family for strength through this time, and I'm grateful for the time he shared with us.
