Summer Birthday
The beginning of Summer, always brings to mind, a friend of almost “50” years, Sister Mary Emeline, a nun in the order of , Sisters of Christian Charity. She was in charge of the dining room on the boys’ side of German St.Vincent Orphan Home, in 1940’s and 50’s. I worked for and under her guidance with maybe 10-12 other kids, and she proved to be to me a real friend, and person I would always like to keep in touch with.
She and I kept in touch ’till she passed on to her reward , and a much better place than here, Heaven. If, ever there was a , Saint — She certainly qualifies, in my book! She and three (3) of her own family-sisters, entered into the Convent in Wilmette, Illinois. The youngest of her sisters, became Sister Mary Alvera, and she was also a life-long friend. Sister May Alvera was our 5th and 6th grade teacher, and was the only ‘alto voice -singer’, as we were always practicing songs for church, and her voice was very distinctive.
Sister Mary Emeline, you did a terrific job here — God bless you! and Happy Birthday
