Hello Mo
Glad I could be of assistance.
If you are lighting a candle for your Gran and my brother it sounds as if you are a Catholic lady.  If so you must be feeling very sad today, with the Pope so ill.  Although I am not particularly religious you and all other Catholics have my sympathy.  He did a great deal to help bring religions together and the Church will be the poorer without him.  Let's hope his successor is as popular.
Regards
Audrey

Yes Audrey I am Catholic, my father became one when Mum and him got married,  I am not a in your face Catholic I tend to regard myself as a Christian who happens to have been baptised a catholic.

Yesterday we lost a pope who seemed to unite many religions throughout the world... he was a good living man... I did not agree with all his more conservative messages for the Catholic church but I do feel the world has lost someone that tried to bring a message of peace for the world and therefore that is a dreadful loss.

May his soul be at peace now as he suffered so much... and like you I pray that his successor will be as honest and peaceloving as John Paul 2..

again thanks for all you did
