Not sure what to say?

We were so sorry to hear about Sister Honorata, She meant a lot to us. We have great memories and pictures of her and Sister Mary Alberta (Dads sister) visiting in Ohio.

In this time of loss, may faith give us all strength, may prayers bring us all comfort.

Thank you for being there & being you.

Rest in peace Sister Honorata.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
