She will be so missed. She was a true friend and always true to her Carmelite Spirituality, truly a little flower.
May the doors of heaven be opened wide to her and let us hear God say, "Well done, my good and faithful servant".
Eternal rest grant unto Aline, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through Thy mercy, rest in peace. Amen!
