I know Fr. Cuddy is not there<br />but at dusk I just did not want his grave to be alone. I thank God<br />for all the wonderful Holy priests that were helping with his funeral mass.<br />A priest is such a special human being even if at times we don't always agree with them.<br />There is a special place in my heart for Priests. We need them so badly.<br />Fr. Cuddy will always be special. He listened when I wanted to leave the Episcopal<br />Church to become a Catholic. I had wanted this since the age of 7. It bothered<br />me to leave the Church of my family. I did not want to be different. Family<br />members went with me to RCIA classes so I would not drive to downtown Macon at<br />night alone. Father Cuddy smiled and gave me a wink when to my shock My entire<br />family converted to the Catholic Faith on that very special Easter night. <br />God Bless Father Cuddy and all of his fellow brother Priests who with<br />dignity buried him on that beautiful hill in the Catholic Section of Rose Hill.<br />All of you would have made Fr. Cuddy so happy. <br /><br />P/S Watch the time if you go to a cemetery near dusk. You just might get locked in.<br />I lost track of the time and had to find help to unlock the gates. Scary and not a safe decision.<br /><br />Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-42712887152888901292017-01-27T01:51:35.882-05:002017-01-27T01:51:35.882-05:00Father Cuddy will live forever in our hearts.

He lived his life waiting to see the face of God.<br />As we tell him goodbye tomorrow we cry for ourselves because our heart misses him.<br />He made the world a much better place.<br />He taught me and my family about a loving God. He changed our lives.<br />God Bless Him.Curry Familynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-932967387843943792017-01-20T19:35:55.475-05:002017-01-20T19:35:55.475-05:00Father McDonald, I just offered my prayer for Mons...Father McDonald, I just offered my prayer for Monsignor John Cuddy's eternal rest. <br /><br />Deo gratias for Monsignor Cuddy's service to God's Holy Catholic Church. <br /><br />Father McDonald, Deo gratias for your service to God's Holy Catholic Church.<br /><br />Pax.<br /><br />Mark Thomas<br /><br /><br />"We are called to work for the development of the culture of life, showing that every season of life is a gift of God and has its beauty and importance, even if it is marked by fragility." <br /><br />— His Holiness Pope Francis, October 15, 2016 A.D.<br />Mark Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-34230775576623094642017-01-20T17:34:46.172-05:002017-01-20T17:34:46.172-05:00Father McDonald,
