F.Brassard/ C.Kurtenbach ( CORPUS CANADA). Kae was always a wonderful energy at all our gatherings. she attended many meetings at our house,where the folks often gathered. Corpus Canada always upheld the respect and courage of our married priests. How they loved their church and how supportive Kae was on all forward looking issues we addressed and challenged in action.
We are honoured to have her amongst those Saints who go before us.
