Thank You Father Desmond Okpogba and special thanks to the amazing: Father Jim "it can't be too cold" Caldwell & Father Ken "it can't be too hot" Iheanacho ...who, without a whisper of complaint, drove the miles back and forth to Pawnee from Tulsa and Bartlesville week in and week out, year in and year out to celebrate the mass for us and with us at St. John's with amazing good cheer, dignity and grace. We have indeed been blessed by your care and thank you for your guidence, inspiration, hard work, prayers and friendship. May the peace and love of our Lord be with each of you, always.
