Sr. Mary Ellen Shirtz, I am sorry for your loss. I went to Bishop Grimes and graduated in 1978 not before you caught me smoking in the lav. I have lost both parents and my sister, Erin many years ago. It is never something that is easy. I pray for you peace and understanding in your time of need and pray that your life is well.
