Rodney Darensbourg prays during St. Peter Chanel Church’s eighth annual Mass of Remembrance at Green Lawn Cemetery, Roswell, Nov. 3. Darensbourg was on hand to memorialize his parents, Louis and Merle.

Father Francis McNamee, pastor of St. Peter Chanel Church, Roswell, is the main celebrant for his parish’s annual Mass for all those who have died. Father McNamee is joined at the altar by Deacon Scott Sparks, background right.

Following the Mass, Ron Anderson plays a medley of songs on his flute, including “Ave Maria,” as his wife, Marilyn, sits at their late son’s grave. Their 26-year-old son, Aaron, died in a jeep accident Sunday morning July 10, 2005. The Andersons are members of St. Brendan Church, Cumming.
