My deepest condolences to all that loved Sister Joseph . I took a fond liking to her immediately. Met her by chance on a visit to the gift shop to purchase a bible. I prayed for Her and thru Her every day since than. Sadly found out about her passing on the one year anniversary of her passing. I would stop in to pray after hospital visits always hoping she was at the window after ringing the bell. She was a blessing and I know she is sharing Her glory with Our Father. Jim Jaehnig

Dear Poor Clare Sisters in Jamaica Plain, Ma., I am saddened to hear of Sr. Mary Joseph´s sudden passing from this life. Sr. always made me feel welcome. Her energy and laughter were truly contagious. Her vital presence in her community and elsewhere has made a lasting, life-giving mark upon all who met her. I remember after telling her of my mother´s decline in health, she took my hand and held it compassionately saying, "Fr. Gene, I will pray for your dear mother. I know how difficult it is to see our loved ones suffer in any way." Her words brought some warmth and comfort to my heart at a time that was dark and dreary for me. Sr. Mary Joseph, May your soul be comforted by your loving Lord who now takes your hand and leads you with all your loved ones into paradise. Rest and be joyful in God´s loving kingdom.
