I met Maridith when we were classmates at Catherine Laboure School of Nursing back in 1957 and we've remained friends ever since. She was a beautiful person both inside and out. May she rest in peace and enjoy her Heavenly rewards reunited with family and friends who have gone ahead of her. God Bless her.
