My Mother was the last of the old Irish Hard Assed Mothers, more feared and demanding than the fathers, she beat you and then dad admistered the coupe when he came home.

She married for love, my Father was LDS, a scandle, and when he died young, 46, beat us until we excelled in school, she sent us all to private schools at great sacrifice.

She taught me to love the English Language and the literature it has produced by reading the Poets and the Bard as a nap time story.

She married again at 60 and he passed away two years ago. A vibrant and active woman passed from us.

What a wonderful and very strong mother you had, at a time when women weren’t supposed to be strong! Now, I can officially attribute your wordsmithery to her.

God Love your Irish Hard Assed Mother. May she rest in peace, and may you remember everything she taught you.

My condolences, Little Bill, on the passing of a remarkable woman...your mother.

I always think of Anne of Green Gables when I think of Prince Edward. As beautiful as her childhood home was, I’m sure she’s in even more gracious circumstances now. My prayers for her rest and her strength to you in these trying times.

Loved your reflections on your Mom—
sounds like quite the lady that has shaped your life and talents. This is a time of grace and Resurrection—
your dear Mom has many prayers from your friends at FR, and I add my prayers to the many that are being said.
God bless.

Bill,
We send our deepest condolences to you and your family. Your mother was an “Angel”. She was like a mother to me. Annamarie & myself loved her very much. We have fond memories of her. She made the best bread pudding in the world. We will miss her dearly.

Prayers up for you, your mom, and your family.

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
