Not sure what to say?

To the Srs. of St. Joseph, and the Morey family,
When I think of Sr. Frances Therese, I think joy, enthusiasm, fun, fulfillment. She lit up any and all the rooms she entered. Her caring, loving ways were always appreciated. Now Heaven is graced with her Presence in God's Presence as we acknowledge she was a present to us all.
May you rest in peace and glory, dear Sister.

Auntie Therese was loved by so many people. She gave each and every one of us a special individual love, all our own, from her. I will alway love her, and cherish every moment she gave to me.

i never met her, but heard of her through her devoted niece Joanne, she seemed a wonderful and very effervescent person, who will now be happy with the one she loved.

Affectionately known as "Mother Rita" to all who attended St. Stephen's, I think sums it up best! She taught excellence to all. I can still hear her voice calling out dismissal by street name, Acton, Orient. Sister Louise Marie and Mother Rita were the two most influencial spiritual and educational instructors in my early years. Thanks for everything! Patrick McGowan and Family

My Aunt....a truly "wonderful" and gifted person, who saw the world and everyone in it as "delightful". She was an inspiration to everyone she met - and certainly to our family - thank you for letting us see the world through your eyes..you made it brighter than we could ever imagined!!! Lots of Love and Kisses - Nancy,Al,Joseph,Gina and Russ XXOO

Sister Rita was not only a wonderful person but a dear sister in both senses of the word. I will miss her and our weekly talks and will keep her in my prayers.

Sister Francis Therese was one in a million! Both my late husband and I had her in our third year at St. Stephen's High School. She had
the class in the palm of her hands. Was loved by all. Had a great sense of humor and was always there to give helpful advise. We kept in touch for many years.
I sat in on one of her classes, as an adult, when she was in Brockton MA, and saw that she had not lost her magic touch with the students in her charge.
She was a very spiritual...
