A Message from
Bea Donofrio:
"Dear Friends: It’s been a while since I’ve written to you, and I just wanted to say ‘hello.’…I hope all is well with each one of you. As you probably know, my
health has deteriorated significantly this past year, and I don’t get out anymore. Since time is abundant now,
I have ample time to reflect on the blessings of friends like you that have been in my life. I say prayers
every day for your health and happiness. I’d love to catch up with each of you, so if you have some time, drop me a line. Prayers are always welcome, of course. God bless. Love, Bea"
(Her e-mail address is bvdon1@yahoo.com)
(In a subsequent e-mail, received at ‘press time,’ Bea has written: "Last week, with my entire family, Father Hritz came to our home and gave me the anointing. It was such a
beautiful and loving service. This will stay with me always. Love and Prayers, Bea")
A Message from Kathy Cooney:
"The caring and support of the Community of St. Malachi at the time of
my Dad’s death was ‘overwhelming.’ Your many kindnesses are deeply appreciated." K.C. and family of James P. Cooney
The John Flaherty Family also has expressed appreciation to the Community of St. Malachi.
