It will be a tough Christmas for Imelda Espiritu whose husband Leonard died of cancer late last year.
But Christmas offers a hope that’s greater than any loss.
“Christmas has been difficult without him,” Espiritu said. “But as I’m reminded here – with God, you can endure everything. I know I had the chance to help prepare him for heaven and I am grateful for the time we had. It was an honour to be with him. He was such a wonderful man and he loved the Church.”
