Sister Marianne Longo

Sr. Mary Edward was my teacher at St. Catherine's, and was the most effective teacher I ever was fortunate to have as a mentor. I'll never forget her, and am thankful I got to know her. May she rest in peace. The inscription inside her ring was "Serve the Lord with gladness". I think she cared about all of her students and served them with an open heart every day.

I was a middle school organist & Sister Eymard was a young sister assigned the choir" @ St Vincent decPaul School in Toledo I enjoyed working with her & learned so much. Rest in peace, sister

Sister Eymard made a lasting impression on me (and many others) as she served as our 8th grade teacher at St. Catherine's on the west side of Toledo, Ohio in 1968. She taught +40 boys that year, in I'm sure a challenging year especially for someone that was 33 years old at the time! She always conducted herself in such a caring, intelligent fashion. God Bless!

Marianne and I studied with Matthew Fox in 1986 in Oakland, California. We have kept in touch since then, although her recent health concerns reduced our connection. My sympathy to the Sisters of Mercy. She was a wonderful friend, and we shared many laughs together. I visited with her twice in Fremont in past years. RIP
