Fr Brian Bainbridge

[Suzanne Daigle]

Vivian and other dear close friends of Brian,  Such sadness I feel and this
even though I just met Brian last year...first in Seattle then Taipei. In
each place, I see him there sitting quietly and so still as if he was
holding space for us all, which he was and is now. I will treasure his
wonderful sense of humor ("IMHO") and his emails which always ended with
"Cheers and Blessings".  I am so glad he wrote The New Parish Priest -- as a
special place to go back to. Suzanne
