He was a devout Catholic and went to early morning mass seven days a week for most of his adult life ...

Hi Dean - many thanks for your comment. Yeah, he did - it was extremely important to him; so much so that I have gads of family gathering photos with the shrine (back in the day it was a work of art!) in the background, dating all the way back to when my parents were first married. That you noticed and commented on this piece means a great deal to me... I am the last in the family to take a photo of it before the family home was sold. Ave Maria was his favorite...
