[Magdalen] The gift of this pub

[Marilyn Cepeda]

Thank you for your words here. I are Magdalen is unique and I would hate to
lose it. I have met only a few of you face to face but your presence and
words have seen me through child rearing, discernment, divorce, and
remarriage to name a few things.

As long as two or more are gathered…..
