Dearest
Sister Joan of Arc
Rest in the Arms of Jesus
When you were Principal at Pope John Paul II School in Nanticoke, PA in
1986, you were so kind to our two foster children, Jimmy and Steven.
Thank you for being so patient with them.
In 1992, when our daughter, Tessa started there in kindergarten, you
told us that her laughter brought joy to your heart and made your day.
We ask you now, since you are so near to Jesus and His Blessed Mother,
and the Saints and Angels, to pray for her and for us, please.
We love you.
Larry and Angela
