I had the privilege for working for the Sisters of Saint Francis - Syracuse when Sr. Rose Ann was on the leadership team. She was always a pleasure to work with, and was determined to help me succeed. I will never forget her kindness and gentleness toward me, and it was here encouragement that helped me to make the decision to return to school and finish my education. She will never be forgotten.

She will be so very missed. Every aspect of grace and benevolence, she had in excess. The talks she and I had are memories I still revisit frequently. She took my hand in a time when I needed to be reminded how to see the best in people, something she did better than anyone I've known. Her legacy lives on in the quality of care from those (especially nursing students) she took under her wing. I'm so thankful for the time I had with her, i will miss her very much. -Morgan Wilson RN
