Therese attended St. Mary’s School, Kitchener, and graduated from St. Mary’s High School in 1951. As a child, she preferred to read books rather than play with dolls. A favorite pastime was singing and listening to stories.
In death, we say our ultimate human yes to God. Trusting in God’s power to bring us to the fullness of life, we conclude our earthly life with an act of worship: in the action of death we proclaim God as God, and ourselves as God’s creatures. We are called by God and sent by the community; we go in joy!
