CARDS AND BEST WISHES FOR SISTER DOLORES IN NORTH BAY
A few weeks ago, Deacon Derek and Linda West visited Sister Dolores Turgeon, csj who recently moved to St. Joseph’s Mother house in North Bay. During the visit they presented Sister with the many cards and good wishes of her fellow St. Pat’s Parishioners. She was very moved when she saw the big box of cards for her and was overjoyed to read all the notes and kind remarks from her well wishers.
She sends her many thanks to the many who included their names and good wishes on the cards and she wants to let everyone know. “that she is thinking of them and sends hugs to all!”
We also re-iterate our best wishes to Sister and we thank Linda and Derek for visiting her and for delivering our greetings to her.
