Sr. Veronica was my Aunt Lucille's sister. I remember seeing her when I was small and visited my aunt's farm. I remember her smile and her laugh. I am sad that her life came to an end in such a senseless, painful manner.

I did not know Sister Veronica, but I was taught by the Felician Sisters during grammar and high school. They were a fine organization of teaching sisters and overall kind, giving souls. My condolences to the entire order on their loss. I hope Sister is at peace with God.

I was so fortunate to have shared in Sr Veronioca's 50th Jubilee last year, and even more blessed to have had her teach me in first grade at St Turibius School. She was so lively and energetic all her life.
I will carry her in my heart always.
With my sincere sympathy to her beloved family and friends, Fran
