Praying for the whole family. Since it is the Blessed Mother's birthday we can only imagine that he is safely in her mantle tonight. What a heroic sacrifice for his child. Praying for our dear Father V.W. who is just an angel himself.

I have no words. We are heartbroken. Thank you, thank you for the prayers.

Dear Maryan,

The St. Ann's Homeschool Group at Queen of Apostles would like to send you their condolences and assure you and your family of our prayers. Our hearts are truly broken over the loss for your family. Fr. Vander Woude has been such an incredible blessing to us. Please accept our prayers and if there is anything that we as a group can do to help your family at this time, please don't hesitate to let us know. Your father-in-law was a beautiful man.

Mary, Queen of all hearts...pray for us.

St. Joseph, patron of a happy death...pray for us.

Eternal rest grant unto your faithful servant, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him.

Peace,
Sara Beatty
on behalf of St. Ann's Homeschool Group

There is a lovely newspaper article about Maryan's father-in-law. Such a beautiful witness to fatherhood and faith. I can't wait to meet him in Heaven one day.

Blessings,

Maryan,

We are so sorry. Praying for your family, the repose of the soul of your fil (if he doesn't need it, I'm sure God will apply those prayers to someone dear to your fil) and for your bil recovery.
