Dear Jean and Family,
On behalf of all our Sisters, especially those who taught at Immaculate and loved that special place so much, we extend our prayerful sympathy to all your family and friends. May her new way of living in God's presence bring great peace and joy to her, and may you experience her nearness often.

I wish I could be there in person to light a candle, but she and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Laura's daughter, Juanita, and I were best friends in grade school, and I spent any hours in their home. I have fond memories of Mrs.Bade, who always had a smile on her face and treated me like family.
