When I retired from Mercy Medical Center as Chaplain in 2018, our friends Tom & Izzy stepped forward, with another couple Herve & Madelyn, to keep our MMC cancer and grief support groups going, started by our beloved Nun Sister Madeline Joy 2 decades earlier. At the center of our fellowships was always Izzy, her heart overflowing in love for all of us. We miss you, Izzy, even as you continue your prayers for us all from Heaven. ❤️
Our condolences Tom and Izzy’s family. I used to call her sunshine because her smile was just that. She was always thinking of what we could do next as a group. And always was ready to help Sister Madelyn with her projects. We are going to miss her very much but our memories of her will be talked about for a long time when we get together as a group. God Bless you Sunshine!
Tom and Izzy a couple so in love with one another and so giving in love to so many others. Rest in GOD's Peace Above, Izzy, thou good and faithful servant of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, as you now join all the Saintly Hosts of The LORD in prayers for your beloved husband Tom, sister, nieces and all your family here on earth. Deepest condolences to Tom, Maria and all the DuMais family. May The HOLY SPIRIT console you all at Izzy's passing on to Heaven, now and always. Amen. 🙏
