Good idea, Paul.
<div>Liz was the ‘beating heart’ of our community, so generous with her time and organizational skills, keeping us all in line!</div>
<div>Sharing stories would help our grieving.</div>

<div dir="auto">Dear Sunday Community- This coming Sunday September 8, I am the priest celebrating the Mass. I was thinking of cutting the homily very short and giving people a chance during the sharing to say something about Liz Whelan. I know most of us are
still in shock by the sudden death. Maybe we could honour Liz’s memory by sharing something about what she was to the community and/or to each of us. What do you think? Is this agreeable to most of you? </div>

<div name="quoted-content">
<div>
<div><font size="4"><b>First of all, much thanks to Bill and Lindsay for going to Liz's home. What a shock to you to find her dead.</b></font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="4"><b>I went to the ecumenical service in my building this morning. During the time when we were asked for our own prayers, I thought of Liz, whom I thought was too ill to get out of bed. Then, after having some lunch opened up my email in
my own apartment and saw this terrible and heartbreaking news. I was aware that Liz didn't have any children and thought of how she grieved her husband Peter's death over 20 years ago. Peter was a bit of recluse (despite his rather social occupation as a
journalist) and I had the joy of meeting him a couple of times. Since his death and the massive renovations she undertook on their house, Liz has truly enjoyed the numerous social occasions she has had in that beautiful house. She has often played hostess
to community gatherings, not just the potlucks. And on hearing of my feelings about being in Hamilton and not being able to get to Toronto for a New Year's Day open house, she invited me to her house for a luncheon with Brenda Holtkamp a few days later.
That was very special.</b></font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="4"><b>When our lay founder, Monique Newton died back in the 90s (many of us regarded Monique as the mother of our community) Liz was determined to replace her in that maternal role for the community. It seems she succeeded, from the many comments
from our newer members whose help they received when they first joined us.</b></font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="4"><b>If there is a memorial service, I hope whoever organizes it will ensure it is live streamed so that I can take part, at least virtually from Hamilton.</b></font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="4"><b>Love and peace to you all, Pat</b></font></div>
