Sister Mary Kerwin was a kind and loving follower of Christ. She showed so much genuine compassion to me during the time of my annulment almost 20 yrs. ago. I will never forget her words to me, when I doubted myself: "God wants His children happy." May she rest in Our Lord's loving arms for all eternity. Thank you, Sister.
