Marie Therese was a good Christian; she had faith in the Lord. As she was in her last day, she could not speak anymore, however, she never stops mumbling. I could not understand what she was saying, until one day I took the time, and put my ear close to her mouth. The whole time she was saying ‘’ Le sang the Jesus’’. Her memory became deteriorated, she was confused at time, but she always remembers all the Psalms. When I was praying with her, she was able to say the words with me.

She was very humble, caring, always tried to help. Her home was always open to assist people with a place to stay. When I think the way she lives her life, I feel a little relief, I believe she is in a better place now.
