Dear Sister Michelle,

I am so sorry for your loss.

I was fortunate enough to have been taught by Sr. Marie Colette for 1st and 2nd grades at Epiphany School. She was my favorite nun in grammer school and in high school. She was so sweet. I have thought about her through the years with fond memories. I just happened to be looking for a death notice of one of my friends child and I saw this notice. I loved Sister Marie Colette and I will never forget her. I am sending you a donation for the HIgh School in her memory and will keep her in my prayers.

God Bless you.
