Dear Eileen, Uncle Joe, Sr. Anna James, Ellen, Sharon, Jim, family and Sisters,
Sister was like a family member to me. Eileen and I made many excursions to the Mont to see "Aunt Ruthie". I will miss those trips. Although I never had the privelege to have Sr. as a teacher at Sacred Heart Academy, I know she was a well respected teacher. I will miss her kindness and concern for others. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love Tricia

Dear Family Members and Sisters,
I offer you my sincere condolences at the passing of dear Sr. Elizabeth Anna. She led a rich and productive life in the service of her Lord and His people. How great and wondrous must be the greeting she received from Him Whom she loved and Who graced her with many gifts. I remember her when I lived with her as a gentle, kind, and compassionate person. Her gracious smile always offered encouragement. Though she will be sorely missed, her memory will live on in our hearts. God be with you all during this time of trial and sorrow.
Loving and prayerful sympathy,
