Dearest Annette,
Sister Pauline expired and the funeral was held on Saturday 7th March at 3 PM .She was very dedicated and most remember her for the services she rendered with a smile to the Saligao folks and old age home inmates during the late sixties , seventies and eighties. She was 87 years old . There were not many people for the funeral - mostly nuns ciao Allwyn --- On Sun, 8/3/09, ANNETTE D'SOUZA <[email protected]> wrote: > From: ANNETTE D'SOUZA <[email protected]> > Subject: [SALIGAONET] Re: Saligao... in the Seventies > To: "Saligaon Foxy news" <[email protected]> > Date: Sunday, 8 March, 2009, 1:47 PM > > > > #yiv907534246 .hmmessage P > { > margin:0px;padding:0px;} > #yiv907534246 { > font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;} > > > > > Those were the days!
