A Thank You From the Nuns for Your Kind Thoughts

Sr. Acquinice wanted me to share this note she sent to me with all of you.

Dear All,                                                                                  Aug., 8, 2014

Thanks for your cards, pictures, letters etc. for Sr. Benedicta’s birthday and afterwards. It’s good to hear about you and your families. I would like to respond to each of you, but I chose this way (the blog) instead.

Sr. B is back in Chicago. Our facility, Mercy Circle, is lovely. We are still adjusting to everything. Sr. B is in skilled care and I am in an assisted living facility. About a week ago I was sure she was dying, but after about 16 hours she bounced back. This has happened several times since her stroke six years ago. It was the first time I witnessed it, though.

When the spirit moves you drop a line or two. We love hearing from you. Know that you are in our daily prayers.

Love to all,

Sr. Mary Acquinice (Aunt Rita)

As a reminder, the addresses of Srs. A & B are below. Note the difference in room numbers, which is necessary to make sure the correspondence gets to the right aunt!:

Sr. Mary Benedicta McCorry, RSM

I hope you’re all having a great summer. I’ve been following some of your vacation fun on Facebook. It looks like Anna and John Borden and their three children made it out to Las Vegas, Utah and Vail, Colorado! 

Also, Grace Schield posted a photo indicating that the family has obtained grave site markers for her grandparents, Carroll and Betty Schield. 

Be well,

Robert Mullins
