Elaine Marie Breslin

Dear Sr. Kitty, I just wanted to say thanks for being there. Your prayers were constantly answered, from Note Dame Football Games to Kevin and Conor going to Incarnation Catholic School and playing for the Irish Basketball Team. You always made sure we got where we needed to be , by a "convent" car, train or bus. You were the perfect complement to Sr. Anne and we needed the two of you to make this world a lot better. Your political support was unwavering. You were the role model of positive...

Dear Sister Kitty,
Not only was I lucky to have you as my aunt, but my children gained so much from you as well. You and Sr. Anne were my inspirations to become a teacher. You were so giving to all of us, and so appreciative of any small kindess. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. But now we are even more lucky as the pipeline between you and God is so short. I know you are so happy to be back with your parents and sisters. Love, Ellen

Sr. Kitty:

The way you lived your life--with dignity, humility, prayful devotion to the Catholic faith, and good humor, is a model to which we all should aspire.

I will always remember the celebration of your life and the outpouring of love and support you received from the CSJ community and your many friends.

It is an honor and a privilege to be your nephew.

Sister Elaine was a wonderful, good and Christian woman. All who met her were greatly blessed as a result.

She will be missed most by all who were in her prayers. To be certain, this would include all of humanity.

Sister Elaine,
Thank you for all of your prayers on behalf of my father and for all that you did for the residents of Childs Nursing Home. Your work here is done, and our world is a better place because of you. You are safely home with the Lord now and what a joy that must be for you. Rest in peace, you are in my prayers.

Oh, Sister Kitty...

I shall never forget you. You were always so full of joy - and, that mischievous twinkle in your eyes was wonderful!

Bobby and I would delight in our vow of secrecy whenever "Kitty Quick" ran at Saratoga and you would would entrust us to bet $2.00 to WIN on her.

And, she always won!

Sister Kitty, I smile at the memories of our many chats on the Breslin's backporch when Bobby and I would vist with you, Jo, Rose, and...

Sr. Elaine taugth me in cardinal McCloskey back in the 60's. She always had an upbeat attitude. The world is a better place because she was here
