Evening.<div><br><div>Dear Sunday Community,</div><div>Rob and I want to thank you for the beautiful Mass today for Rita. She was very special to us too. She was one of the first friends we made when we joined the Community. She was a great friend to Lucia, who trusted her implicitly. And she knew our own dear friend Sister Brenda Duncombe. <br>Rob and I will always be grateful for her friendship and we remember her and Brian fondly in our prayer. <br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On 9 Jul 2025, at 23:35, Rose Anderson via Sundaycommunity <sundaycommunity@lists.integralshift.ca> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><p style="margin-bottom: 11.0px;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="line-height: 107.0%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="line-height: 107.0%;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman" , serif;">Friends,</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Her sudden passing was an enormous shock to everyone, including her family.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

We have therefore decided to dedicate the next Mass to the memory of Rita. We hope to have Brian Shaughnessy, and perhaps some members of his family, join us.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Prakash celebrating with us that day. He has shown great sensitivity in situations of grief and loss. At the same time, he is a busy man who frequently has other commitments after our Mass. This means we need to exercise self-restraint in our participation.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Before July 20<sup>th</sup>, please think about what you would like to share with the community and summarize your thoughts in two or three sentences, to ensure that everyone who wishes to speak will have an opportunity. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
