Forever grateful to Xavier who is constantly expressing his love and concern for me in my early days here in Canada. He has been an inspiration together with his loving and dedicated wife, Sally. I can feel my blood family through them and the goodness of God thru his sincere guidance for me. It is only thru the heart one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eyes. With love and prayers, Laura Carvalho.
Dearest Sally, Stephen, Elaine , Dan and Sybil,
