What!!! More??? No way!!!

Adeline kept instructing us to do it right

We had sweated it out

Adeline 50 + pounds down was a real

inspiration for us all

Father Nixon Ambe was a true blessing for

our class: Start of mass

We sang our hearts out. Music and readings

all coordinated by Claire

Kenneth gave us a hand with the male voice

Those Lourdes songs came back to us

bringing back memories

Father Ambe reading out all our names, one by one, making

sure he pronounced each one correctly and clearly. Brought

the goose pimples. Really beautiful

Special names, each one with special

thought and prayers

All 80 names read with prayerful tenderness

Delivering a befitting sermon for the class

Candles for Grace, Bern and Vicky

We listened intently to Father’s special

words

The mass was almost done, Father telling us

to remember Sister Angele in our prayers

and connect with her.

Father praising us for this special honor

It was true bliss
