I got home from work very late on Friday night, the 4th of November, and checked my emails. My sister Liz had sent a very sad one, saying that Sister Antonia had been in a horrible car accident and was not expected to survive her injuries. I called my mother in California right away, and she sounded optimistic, noting that Sister was cognizant of her surroundings and the people by her bedside, even communicating with them.

Sister Antonia was my father's cousin and a beloved member of my extended family. She worked extensively with the Native Americans in Mexico and the US -- the Otomi of Hidalgo State, the tribes Chiapas and the Lakota (Sioux) of South Dakota -- and Hispanics in Denver. I remember helping her with a visa to allow her long-time assistant in Hidalgo come for her silver anniversary as a nun. And I remember visiting her on the Rosebud Lakota reservation, where I had the privilege of witnessing a...

My deepest symphony to the extended family of Sister Antonia. Although I have not seen her in many years, she was always such a big part of the Marycrest family. God will certainly enjoy her as much as we did. She will remain in my prayers.
