marieweicker Dear Marian and family – All my sympathy on the loss of your husband and father.
I’m very sorry but I’m not well enough to attend his funeral.
You may remember that he worked with Wilfrid in building the beautiful statue display for Our Lady’s Statue collection in St. Patrick’s Church foyer.
Prayers and sympathy.
Love, Marie Weicker
