    So sorry for your loss. Loved our visits when I brought Bertha communion... Unfortunately we will not be able to attend her Mass. "May the choirs of angels come to greet her, May they speed her to Paradise. May the Lord enfold her in His Mercy, may she have eternal life". Linda and Jeff

    Melanie and Barry, So sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. She was a wonderful person. I always remember my father telling me the story of how your grandfather lent my grandfather money to buy the Bettencourt Farm. He was forever grateful to him. Best Wishes! Al Bettencourt
