Ther are no words to express my sadness when it comes to Sister Ludmilla's death. She was truly a Saint here on earth. A dedicated Nun for 73 years, blessed with many, many talents. I had the pleasure of volunteering for her in the Religious Education Program at Our Lady of the River, then taking over the program when she went to St Anthony's. I can only say these were some "BIG SHOES TO TRY AND FILL." She BLESSED my life and my family with many, many years of friendship. May you rest in...

Thanks to a great and gracious God for giving us this saint in our midst. May flights of angels sing her to her well-deserved rest.

I am deeply Saddened by this news. I actually thought Sister Ludmilla had passed some time ago. She was one of the Best Person's I ever knew. I spoke at a " Roast" for her. She had a Miner Accident on the icey road. I told everyone Sister didn't realize in actual life she couldn't say "Jesus Take the Wheel". I also remember Father Conroy had made some snacks for his dog Bingo. Sister didn't realize they were for Bingo, and she "Ate the Dog Food Snacks". I taught CCD for 13 years for her....
