Not sure what to say?

Always a sweet memory in my day, Sister josetta you definitely were THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joe Dyke

She taught me in 7th and 8th grade. Was the complete package: not just a great teacher but a wonderful mentor with a warm and friendly personality and you not all the nuns were warm and friendly back then. I still think of her often even after so many years.

She was a wonderful person and an excellent teacher. She also knew how to control a group of roudy preteen age boys! We all loved her.

Sister Josetta was such a beautiful lady and did everything to help you succeed. She was a down to earth lady and had a wonderful sense of humor. In here retirement days she was with friends including me and we were going to eat crabs. She agree to partake but said only if I could have one beer with my crabs. See God she was a good Marylander.

She was a living Saint, She truly loved her students.

May 2, 2011, Bill Kelly here from the SGS Class of 1954. Sue and I were in Ireland and could not attend her funeral.
I remember Sr. Josetta as the most influencial woman in my life beside my Mom Nora Kelly and my lovely wife Sue Ferber Kelly/ I have known Sr. Josetta for nearly sixty years and met with her many times over the years. She was always upbeat positive on all occassions and always let us know she remembered us all the time and kept us and our families in her prayers. So glad...

Class of 1954. I want to comment on our wonderfful 7th Class Teacher Sister Josetta

How little we realize when a very special person enters our lives. Sister Josetta certainly is one of the truly special ones as shown by the reactions of all of us that were touched by her presence.

To realize that someone could impact so many lives over decades is truly an inspiration. It makes me reflect once more on my priorities in life and realize that the essence of our lives is in caring for each other.

Sister Josetta always asked me how my life and family were...
