Family first…

It wasn’t that long ago that family and friends gathered at Cook’s Chapel for Vigil Prayers to celebrate the life of a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Shirley Hart. Shirley’s daughter, Cindy and grandson, Marcel shared words from the heart providing insight into the life of this wonderful lady while the video tribute that followed showed the love for her family. The next day, Father Philip led the Mass with members of her family participating which added a personal touch from those who meant so much to her.
Honour Shirley’s memory,
In all that you do,
Give selflessly of yourself,
Put family first too!
Her Life Lived…
Her Life Cherished…
Her Life Honoured.
