    We extend our sympathies to the family of Sister Mary Ann. We attended the Mass yesterday. We sat next to Jimmy Bisaillon and his wife in the second pew. It was a lovely Mass and the Eulogy was very nice.

    I will miss writing to Sister Mary Ann, as she was a good writer and her letters meant a lot to me. She always held me up in prayer. Now I will be looking to her in Heaven as a guardian angel looking over me. She is so loved.
