Letters to The God Box: A Message of Love from a Philly Friend
Anyone who lives in our area knows that Sea Isle City, NJ was hard hit during Hurricane Sandy. Yet, look at the letter of love and hope I received from a friend who reached out. An inspiration for Christmas as well as for life!
Mary Lou,
Greetings from Sea Isle City, NJ! I wanted to share with you the undertaking I started today. After hearing about your book; I was intrigued to learn more about the story. After reading reviews and then finding your web site I embarked on a Christmas project. As the only boy and the youngest of 5 in a typical Philadelphia Irish Catholic family; I decided that I was going to make the God Box a Christmas venture this year for my wife of 27 years and my 4 sisters. I must tell you that my sisters are graduates of Cardinal Dougherty so this is near and dear to my heart. They graduated in 64, 68, 70 and 73. My beautiful wife is a graduate of Saint Basil Academy and a Philly girl as well. What I did today was I took the dress my Mother wore to our wedding and I am having a dress maker here in Sea Isle make it into 5 individual God Boxes! I have purchased all the copies of the book and looking forward to a wonderful Christmas celebration embracing your work. My Mother died this past January at the age of 90 and was a very young 90 who made many novena’s and prayer request for all of us-life was good when Mom was around!
Best Regards,
