Dear Fr Barry,
Thank you so much for sharing the wonderful life of your mother with us. Her resourcefulness and faith are inspiring, and her simple yet extraordinary life would be a comfort to us all in our own hours of need.
Not everyone is ordained to a life of urgent heroism, but there are lives though by nature quiet and unassuming, which nonetheless exude spectacular impact and positive influence over time, just by being there, continuously and patiently taking care of whatever is at hand.
To such people who lead such a life, we praise God in sincere gratitude that they are made available to us and are amongst us. Their lives are the continuing songs of prayer that shines where needed unbeknownst to them. And we selfishly ask God to keep them with us for as long as possible, so that we will not feel alone, so that we may enjoy their innocence and radiance and derive the strength to continue.
You are and always will be in our hearts.
