To Joe and the McDonald Family. We were very sorry to hear of the death of such a wonderful and inspirational wife and mother. We were unfortunately unable to attend the rosary or mass as I was expectantly admitted to hospital on Monday causing some concern to family. I do hope on my release from hospital to visit and pay our personal condolences. Our families had many wonderful connections over many years. May she now rest in peace.
