Good friends of Father John Edward Sassani's:
We have been privileged all of us to know a disciple, a priest,
a soul-friend. He lived with joy, generosity of spirit
and great serenity.
He was filled with gifts of God's granting and gifted all of us in turn. He loved and lived
in the Easter light.
May that same light fill him now in God's presence
with the life of Christ Risen. Alleluia.
