Condolences

    I have happy memories of Sister Berenice and Sister Benigna and their cheerful kindnesses to my mother and grandmother at St. Clare Hall, now nearly half a lifetime ago. My prayers are with them, and with all my sisters, living and dead, from those days at the Motherhouse. Pax et bonum! Fraternally, David Carey
