Final Prayer of Commendation

Grant Jean-Wil eternal rest, O Lord
and may perpetual light shine upon him.

Jean-Wil's tomb

Our young masons worked all weekend to have the tomb ready for this morning. It is situated in the shade of a large mango tree near the stream at Castel-Pere. There was no time to paint it but we will and our Arts & Crafts guys will be making a metal sculpture with Jean-Wil's name.

Mass of the Resurrection

Father Charlie blessing Jean-Wil's casket at the beginning of Mass this morning. It was made in our shop by our carpenters.

Father Charlie, again, anointing the casket that is covered with a pall. Behind Father is the grieving family, Matante in blue, MacKenson (Jean-Wil's best friend) and Paige.

Requiem in pace

It is my sad duty to inform you that Jean-Wil Plaisime died this morning. I ask you to pray for those of us who mourn, for his family and friends. He was such a good and thoughtful person I am certain he is now with God, is smiling again and no longer suffering.

Welcome back, Jean-Wil

It has been a long time coming but our old Jean-Wil is finally making an appearance. He is gaining strength daily, eating well and smiling like he used to. He is still in some pain but has no more fever. Joints still bother him but less so and he needs to put on some weight. Thank you for your prayers as we were really scared there for a while.
Thank you, Dokte Cynthia and Rusty and all the folks of the Athens Medical Group Mission for being so attentive to Jean-Wil.
