Sister Marie Bissonnette

My precious and dear friend who truly was an angel on earth, how I will miss our times together! You and your laughter will forever be in my heart. I know Roger was waiting for you with open arms and no doubt it was a joyous reunion. You did good for everyone. Well done sweet Sister Marie. May I see signs of your soul in days ahead. Until we meet again, you are my prayers...always.

I feel incredibly lucky to have known and loved Sister Marie. My daughter and I got to know her over the last seven years when visiting St Marys. She taught us both a lot and was so much fun. She loved my daughter as if she were her own granddaughter and came to important events in her life like her First Communion. Sister Maries ability to love was immense, her laughter contagious. I will miss you, Bachi, but I know you are watching over us. Love you!

I was lucky enough to know Sr. Marie for five years through my time visiting with her at St. Mary. Over that time, she became a dear friend and I'm going to miss my afternoons with her so much. I've been holding onto my fond memories of the levity and humor she brought to everything she did. During one of our visits, she told me that when she passed away sometime I'd go to sit in a chair, only to have it fall out from under meand that would be a little gift from her. Well, Sister, I'm waiting...

St. Marie was my adopted grandma. We used to visit her. She loved cats, Disney, and teasing my mother and me. She ate meat and was really good at art. She moved to St. Mary's healthcare in 2012, the same time I started volunteering. She was a lot of fun to have around. Her curiosity never ended when it came to modern devices and she was overall awesome. She was born on May 12th, so Bachi, have a happy birthday in heaven.

I will never forget our long talks about life. Don't give St Peter too much of a hard time. Leave some space on the bus for me.

Love you my dear sister Marie.

Always,

Shells!!!
