Dear Christina,
It was just a few days ago I saw you at Mass at Our Lady's Comforter Of The Afflicted. We did not speak as we both were running in different directions. I had to give a presentation to current RCIA class on, All Saints and All Souls Day and just seeing your face, "you gave me courage" and it went well! As we spent one year of Sunday's at Religious Education, seeing you and sharing life's moments at church was so regular for us. We met and started OLCA classes together September 2013, you were age 49 and me age 53. We wanted to know more about Jesus and how to get to Heaven. The wonderful RCIA Team taught us together fall to Easter and beyond. Your questions were often my questions, we studied and shared Our Faith Together. We were received into Catholic Church by Cardinal Sean 3/9/2014 and Blessed By Father James DiPerri and Father James Hawker, and All Our Beloved Catechist Teachers, as we left for Boston's Holy Cross Cathedral.
We both received our Sacraments together on 4/19/2014 At Our Lady's in Waltham MA. We were Baptized, Confirmed and Received First Communion Holy Eucharist also together with Jen and Jay also. Simultaneously our dear sister in Christ Miriam also received her Sacraments in Canada. You took awesome pictures of me with My Suzanne at Holy Cross thank you so much. I know you loved Joe and your big family so much and did your absolute best for them always. ✝
As my dear grandfather Vincent Matthew Shields used to say at every meal with meal Grace; "may our souls and (may all the souls) of the Dearly Departed, through the Mercy of Christ Rest in Peace, Amen. 🕯
Eternal Peace and Love,
Christopher and Suzanne Shields
