Not sure what to say?

I remember many of different experiences with Sister Ellen Therese. Though not all of them were for good behavior, but she was always there if you ever needed her. I went to Sacred Heart School. She always said that we would grow up remembering the days when life was different and she helped guide us. RIP Sister Elen and thank you for your guidence when I was young.

SisterEllen I have your picture at my work to make sure you still guide me you taught me so much about life and if you run and fall and get your pants wet what will happen and if you get cut I still hate that lava soap and borax and the last thing THE PADDLE I'm still sore love you for life RIP Keith Nichols

Sister Ellen Therese-- COOLEST NUN EVER!! she was sometimes scary, but even as elementary students at St Francis de Sales in Bennington, we knew that she genuinely cared about us, and we felt safe when she was around...many will miss you, Sister... Thanks for everything--

In God's love.

Sister Ellen Therese had a great influence on me as a young boy at St. Francis de Sales. She always found time to play sports with us and she was without doubt the most loyal New York Yankee fan I ever met. Her sense of fair play and teaching us to admit our mistakes were valuable lessons. I will miss her sense of humor and her compassion for the less fortunate.

Sister was one of my teachers and principal at St. Francis De Sales. After college, I taught at Sacred Heart with Sister as the principal. We stayed in touch all these years. She was an amazing person. I will truly miss her. She will be our angel watching over us.

Sister Ellen Therese was the principal at catholic school when I went there. She was always kind and caring to me and to my brother. God bless her.
