January 9, 2008 Dear Friends, Many of you already know that my Mom, Annette Amirault passed away this morning at 3:10 am while in Union Hospital. I am pleased that Mom is home with the Lord and not suffering at all...she was just so tired at the end...and longed to close her eyes. At 6 am I called the senior pastor of my church, Pastor Tim Schmidt, and asked if he could meet me at the hospital to pray over Mom before she was moved....and of course he said certainly. We met and he was just so supportive and wonderful as he knew Mom from when she visited Calvary Christian Church with me on numerous occasions. Pastor Schmidt and other members of the pastoral staff had visited Mom all week and for that I am so grateful. All of you kept Mom in your thoughts and prayers and I thank you from my heart...you are all wonderful and dear friends. Mom’s funeral arrangements are as follows: Wake will be at Solimine Funeral Home, 67 Ocean Street (Rt. 1A), Lynn, MA 01902 (781) 595-1492 SUNDAY 1/13/08 Hours 2-6 PM Funeral Mass will be held on Monday January 14, 2008 at St Pius Church, 215 Maple Street, Lynn, MA 01902 at 10:30 AM Thank you all again, Hugs, Honey Ed Note; Honey (Amirault) DeLeo worked in PC & CSD.
