Not sure what to say?

Sis was my father's first cousin. I remember her visits back to Two Rivers. Her smile was warm and inviting. We often picked cat tails for her to take home with her. Every time I see them I think of her.

I remember Sr. Andre from my days teaching at Cretin-Derham Hall. She was a great mentor to we younger teachers. Rest in peace.

Sister Andre was an icon at Derham Hall and later at Cretin-Derham Hall. I was privileged to have her as a teacher at Derham Hall, and it was an honor for me to work with her at CDH. May she rest in peace.

Sis was my mother's first cousin and I remember her as a very intelligent and friendly woman. I enjoyed the times we visited together in St. Paul.

She was born and raised in Two Rivers, Wisconsin and is also survived by a flock of cousins from all over Wisconsin and beyond.

Sister Andre will always be remembered as a vibrant devotee to her students. As a student of hers in the 60's, she inspired my interest in social studies and was always available for a spirited conversation. She has also been our link to those wonderful years through her consistent partcipation in Alumnae events.

Thank you for the gifts you have given us.

Sr. Andre (H.T.) was my mother's (Phyllis Lohstreter Bailey) close college friend and subsequently a friend and memeber of the family as she shared many of our holidays and events big and small with us. She shared our good times and bad. H.T. was a person to turn to just to talk to who knew how to offer comfort, words of advice, and laughter when we/I needed it. I will miss you.
