When I was helping to rebuild New Orleans after Katrina the group of volunteers that came with me would always make dinner one night for the Sacred Heart nuns there. Mary was my contact person for many of those years and we always had such fun laughing and visiting with her and the other nuns. Mary was quiet and charming but always had a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
She enjoyed those get togethers and so did we, but for us it was also a welcomed break from the difficult work we were doing. Thank you to all those nuns.
Enjoying dinner with Mary, always followed by ice cream, will be NOLA memories I will always treasure.
How lucky I am to have met her.
