Print Obituary & Condolences
Our family would like to express our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr Michael Baldwin. Words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, and death is truly a painful enemy to the human family. Please take comfort in 2 scriptures found in God’s Word the Bible. John 5:28,29 speaks of the resurrection, and Revelation 21:3,4 promises the time in the future when death and mourning will be no more. Our prayers are with you.
When we moved into St. Barbara Parish, we considered the Michael & Patricia Baldwin & some of their extended family members. as pillars of our Parish.
We knew the pews they sat in at Mass.
I especially enjoyed his smile, even in these past few months when he came to Mass with his care-giver.
We are glad to have known him; the world is a better place because of him.
He was a good and decent man, with a heart and soul, and a twinkle in his eye.
