You were my teacher in the 5th grade at Ste Anne school in Ottawa Ontario. I've never forgotten how good you were to me. I will always cherish the little statue you gave me when I was 75 years old at the time I visited you while you were in Ottawa. You wil remain in my heart as the best teacher. Rest in peace dear Sister Myriam.
