Some years ago Madilyn and I met at Dr.Vest's office in Alton, Illinois and she gave me a prayer card with the picture of St. Anthony. In a brief note on the back of the card, she wrote asking me for prayers for a very special intention. I kept the card in my pryer book and prayed for her. Then, I found her in the Telegraph obituary page! May Madilyn rest in the peace, love, and joy of our Good God! Sr. Theresa Sarich, OSU May God bless her family!
