I asked the priest who anointed Tom to use it just once and then I had it sent to a missionary, a new priest just starting out in Africa. I have pictures of the chalice and the Mass that I'll be putting up one of these days.Charlee Compohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313728801844090299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630286569532684323.post-36337644435720779942009-06-15T12:59:47.532-05:002009-06-15T12:59:47.532-05:00Thanks for the love letter to your husband.

Like your husband, Charlotte, he encouraged me through the dark days of rejections.<br /><br />I scattered Bill's ashes in our garden, his wish, and am taking a little envelope of his ashes to Bridal Veil, Oregon, where we shall celebrate his life with our dear friends, The Franciscan Sisters of The Eucharist.<br /><br />Stay the course, Charlotte. You are a gifted writer and will find your way back.Anita Birthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10579877218246605030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630286569532684323.post-62380392565678324302009-06-15T12:38:56.911-05:002009-06-15T12:38:56.911-05:00Thanks so much for this touching post.

He helped build over a dozen Habitat for Humanity houses and ran the local blood drive for twelve years, had given over ten gallons of blood, himself. He was a Red Cross Disaster worker and ran one of the shelters in Mississippi after Katrina. He is missed by a lot of people whose lives he touched.Charlee Compohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313728801844090299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630286569532684323.post-62754600367649018912009-06-15T12:03:34.194-05:002009-06-15T12:03:34.194-05:00Wonderful post.
