#RIP Sr. Francis Anne. Underlying Francis Anne’s gifts and her productive contributions to the health care community was her belief in and ability to live out of her Franciscan vocation. In her reflection on the occasion of her diamond jubilee, Francis Ann wrote, For me, being a Franciscan means being happy in whatever I do. I’ve loved our sisters all my life and I love them just as much today as I did in the beginning. If I could do it all over again, I definitely would.

#RIP Sr. Eileen Walsh, who was known for her kindness, her efforts to be considerate of others, and her willingness to help others in any way she could. She had a great sense of humor and a winning smile. May she rest in peace in the arms of her Lord.
