My deepest sympathies to Monica, Frank and all Anne's family.
Anne made her profession as a Secular Franciscan (Third Order of St. Francis) in 1983 and lived more the 27 years as a Franciscan. Peace be with her now.

Dear Monica:
I am not sure if you would remember me but I went to school with you. My name was Sharon Nechvatal. My dad and mom knew your mother while she was a member of the St. Bridget's Senior Club.
I had met your mom several times and my parents always liked her so much. They always thought she was so pretty and so sweet.
I lost my mom 3 years ago and it is so hard but please know when someone we love so much is no longer here, it becomes a memory and that memory becomes a treasure and the best way to have a piece of Heaven in your home is to have someoe you love in Heaven.
May you find peace and love in the memories that you hold and cherish.
Sincerely,
Sharon Neff (Nechvatal)
and her dad Eddie
