Sister Mark laughed with all the children while she was teacher and principal at St. Andrew. She is now laughing with all the angels, but will be missed here.

Heartfelt sympathy to Grace/Wayne, family, friends and sisters in faith at the transition to new life of Sr. Mark. When I first met her, she introduced herself as "Cookie" - and likely there are others who hold the 'Cookie' memory going back decades. I trust that she is now at peace.
