In the sorrow of loss, yet the certain hope of the resurrection, I dedicate this extraordinary Ave Maria mix to the loving and faithful memory of my father in law, Alvin Bilodeau... who flew away in the company of angels on July 30th, 2016. He was a reserved man when it came to accolades, but a towering pillar of faith and devotion to his family, the Catholic Church, and Our Lady... the holy mother of the Word Incarnate. Rest in glorious peace, Papa, and thank you for the enduring gifts you leave with your wife, your descendants, and their families.
Thank you, Mama and Papa... for falling in love, being a shining example of faithfulness, raising 6 kids into wonderful adults, sharing the gift of faith with multiple generations, and teaching us all that thinking for yourself is a good thing. I am so abundantly blessed to be part of this family!
