Yesterday

I wrote a feature article in Canandaigua Magazine years ago about the incredibly generous spirit of Anne and Jim and their support of LightHill. I would see Anne at St Mary´s and she never failed to give a wave and a smile. I admired her strong faith. She knew prayers to our blessed Mother can move mountains. I hope she continues to watch over us all!!
