Gerry Thaete, RIP

I just learned the sad news that Gerry Thaete, the wife of Ed Thaete who is the longtime sacristan at my former parish, St. Joseph in Santa Ana, CA, passed away.

She was a lovely and gracious lady, who was the mother of nine children.  I always held her in high esteem and she was the epitome of class.

Eternal rest grant her, oh Lord.  Let perpetual light shine upon her.  May her soul rest in peace in the love of God.  Amen.  (+)
