The earth has one less angel,and heaven has a new one. Sr Agape was an inspiration to me. She made it to her 98th birthday which I was happy to learn. I'm out of the country and sadly will miss the celebration of her life.

Dear Sisters of the Precious Blood Community and family members,
It was a special privilege to have known Sr. Agape. In a unique way we shared each other's spiritual journey. Today her journey unfolds in God's loving arms, welcoming her into life eternal. I am grateful for her faithful loving spirit that has transformed many lives and will continue to inspire others.
