    Sister Imelda was instrumental in my joining the Associates of the Daughters of the Holy Spirit. She was a very dedicated and holy Daughter of the Holy Spirit. Her drive and hard work established the Associate program in California.
    She is now at home with God. May she rest in His peace.

    Deacon Joe and myself send our condolences and love to Sr. Imelda’s family. We had great respect for Sister and appreciated all the time and effort she did to make the Associates welcome and a important part of the DHS family.
    I know she is up there directing us all. She is now with the Lord and may she rest in peace.

    Deacon Joe and Jean Smith
