Read MoreSr. Miriam was my High School teacher at Marianhill Central Catholic until I graduated in 1972. I gave her a few of her white hairs, she had me expelled for a few days, but she remained my friend. I used to give her rides to her mothers house in Webster Square after I graduated. She told me she used to pray for me and I always remembered that. My sympathy's to her family and close friends.

Sr. Mariam was my third grade teacher at St. Louis School, and while I think she wanted to strangle us at times - she had a huge heart and took the time to spend with each student individually. I remember numerous times where she took her lunch break to work with me on areas where I needed extra help. Without her help (along with others along the way) I doubt I would have made it as far as I have!

Indeed how fitting for Sister Miriam Patrice, a religious for 72 years, to be laid to rest on the feast of the Assumption. Well done Sister Miriam and rest in peace!

My sympathy to Sister Brosnan's family. She was a dear lady, I enjoyed every minute of care I gave her at the health care center. How wonderful she is being laid to rest on the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother.
