Barbara Ennis Connolly PRINCESSBARBIB25@msn.com I knew Nando for many-many years…. my husband and I attended most of the Daily Masses at the Sacred Heart Parish Church in Prescott, AZ. as well as Nando did. I knew Fernando for about 12 years and Nando was blind by then…. but he knew every step, every crack in the sidewalk, he knew how big the trees were growing (he would punch his white cane into the leaves to feel the trees :) Nando would come in by the side door, he would walk a certain number of steps and arrive only a few feet from the Feet of Christ on the St. James Crucifix. Nando was also hard of hearing so he spoke loudly, and I would hear him saying….. "Here I am, it is me again Lord!" Nando was always polite, he was always happy that I said hello to him, he was always thrilled when he became confused and I grabbed his arm and guided him back to his seat…. at which he would always say (upon touching his cane) "Ah! There you are!" and turn and say to me "God Bless you." He led a simple life, he seemed happy. Nando had many freinds. WE were blessed by having him so long. Barbara_
