Some people say that it takes a village to raise a child and Sister was part of the village that raised hundreds of children (including me) at All Saints Grammar School. She did so with faith, fairness, intelligence, and most importantly love. For that, she deserves a place in heaven. May God bless her.

Sister was principal when I was a student at All Saints in Jersey City. She was always fair and kind. I have wonderful memories of her as well as All Saints. May she rest in peace. She will remembered fondly.
