Bones knows how to do some other things besides peddling himself on the street. He does that to keep breathing. He’s also great at singing in Church. Just ask Father John down at Mother of Divine Grace, and he’ll tell you that Bones is an expert with César Franck's hymn, Panis Angelicus. The kid sings like an angel. He does that to stay alive. Bobby Authors note: We lost our beloved Father John from Mother of Divine Grace today. He didn’t die or anything like that. He was transferred by the Cardinal to another parish. Now even more people will get to know him. He’s a great older guy (almost as old as me), and he’s a good friend, and great help to me. We’ll get a new priest next Sunday. Bobby |

Life is full of contradictions, dear Bobby. To sing is one of the most beautiful gifts and I am glad that Bones had these soul gratifying moments! Sorry for your loss of Father John, I know what it means, we lost our Don Gianni (same name!) when he was transferred after more than 30 years (sort of retirement). But we can still go and say hello ... Love, Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |
