Hey Jo, A few memories for me from that church. It was where I presided at the 50th anniversary celebration of your folks wedding. It was also where I presided Manny's funeral. What is hardest about parish closures is the memories of those life changing events that brought family and friends together. The challenge is to embrace the idea that memories do not die in walls of closed buildings. They live in the real Church "You and I".
Four things you can't recover: The stone...after the throw. The word...after it's said. The occasion...after it's missed. The time...after it's gone.

Life is short,
Break the rules,
Forgive quickly,
Kiss slowly,
Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile
