Not sure what to say?

It wasn't until I talked with Sr. James Bryan ( Bea Schammel) that I learned of Mary's passing. Mary and I attended Villa Regina together. Being the only girl from Fla. and actually the only one praying for snow she reminded me on many occasions that prayer was a powerful thing and to be careful of what I wished. I am sorry that we didn't keep in touch and my prayers are with your family.

Dear Family of Sr. Bernadette: We have you in our prayers. We knew Sr. Bernadette when she was teaching at Most Holy Name of Jesus Parish in Troy Hill.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Mary's passing. We attended Villa Regina together (her sister Bernie and I were in the same class). I have many fond (and funny!) memories of Mary and will always remember her kindness to everyone. She was a sincere person who was loved by all. I regret I am unable to attend the wake and funeral, as we are caring for a senior family member in Florida. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

DEAREST AUNT BERNADETTE, UNCLE JOHN AND AUNT NOREEN,

Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of Bernadette. We attended the Monastery together and I have many fond, happy memories of childhood and young adult years being a friend of Bernadette. May God rest her soul.

To my relatives, I am very sorry to hear about Sr Mary. It is a shock to learn that another family member has passed. I know that she is with all of our deceased family members as well as with GOD. Sr Mary has done wonderfull things in her life and has touched many throughout her life.
Please accept my condolences and my prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
