Sister Suzanne Buthod (formerly Sister Mary Judith)
...by Father Terry who told us in his homily the day after her death of his conversation with Sue in her last hours, how she talked of relationships with friends, family and sisters.

All Souls Day 2011
...the words I had omitted – remember “with joyous affection all the faithful departed.” Now doesn’t that put a different spin on things? After the wide array of “souls” my misreading had brought to mind and heart, after remembering some with prayers for mercy and others with prayers of gratitude, after being awed by the total otherness of a loving God—I felt uncomfortable remembering only the faithful departed.
