Meg and Dave and our family go way back. Many fond memories. We reconnected at church at St. Bridget’s at Friday mass. She was so loving, so genuine, such a sweet person. I do miss her dearly. Prayers to Ted, Chantelle, and all her family.
Meg and I have been friends around 50 years. Bible studies, church activities, dinner club, volunteer activities, I am sure Jesus meet her at the pearly gates and said “Welcome my good and faithful servant “.
