+Dear Sisters,
Sister Maureen worked as a nurse at St. Vincent’s Cystic Fibrosis Center where I met her. She was so dedicated to her community and her patients! As a resident of Bay Ridge and graduate of Our Lady of Angels, I would sometimes see Sister at Mass … she was so sweet with her parents.
Although I had not seen Sister in many years, I recognized her beautiful smile from her picture here, and I wanted to offer a prayer and a grateful heart – for her and for all the wonderful Sisters who taught me at OLA. You dear Sisters gave me the best education. I pray that I have lived up to the high ideals with which you gifted me.
God bless you all!
Love and prayers,
Camille
