My memories of Sister Ewardette are of a wonderful friend of my family as she was my grandmothers (Cecilia McGrath Roulston) neice and my mothers ( Ruth Roulsyon Fay) first cousin. She helped my brother Daniel many times and my sister Ellen Marie Fay Burke attended Matignon while she was Principal their. May she rest in peace in heaven.

My deepest sympathy to the family of this wonderful member of the community of The Sisters of Saint Joseph, as someone who left an impression on her students,and me personally that I shall never forget. May she rest in peace in the arms of our creator.

Sister Edwardette was a tremendous,intelligent, spirited teacher, whom I respected and admired.When I failed to live up to her expectations she talked to my mother and received complete autonomy to do with me what she will.

Thankfully, during the preperation of our 60th reunion I and several other classmates personally renewed our friendship with her. It was a heartfelt experience. Sister was most gracious, witty and loving.

I loved Sister Edwardette and never stopped thinking and praying for her over the past 60+ years.

I am confident she has the perpetual light shining on her as she rests in peace.

May I extend my most sincere sympathy to Sister's family which includes all her Sister's of C.S.J.
