Friends born in June – remembered!

Jun 21st Friends born in June – remembered!

Some “Friends” are never forgotten – no matter how long they have since gone on to a much better reward – now in Heaven!

When I think about Sister Mary Emeline – a Nun in the Sisters of Christian Charity, order and my good friend Kelly Uzzetta – and they both have birthday in June and within five days of each other – and they were both always so kind hearted to everyone that I knew – and I cannot remember either one ever having anything to complain about – that I could say was something memorable?

Sister Mary Emeline was one of my favorite NUNS – when I was living at the German St. Vincent’s Orphan Home. I worked for her in the “Boy’s Dining Room” and thoroughly enjoyed working for her and would also volunteer to do additional work – just because she was so pleasant to work with and for. When you worked in any area in the Home – it was for a period of six months – and the one time that I was working for Sister Mary Emeline – was during the winter months which included the Holidays.

So, I told Sister Mary Emeline, since she was new to the Orphan Home – that there were Christmas Decorations in the “ATTIC” – if she would allow me to go to the third floor attic and get them – I would like to do the decorating – so that the “Dining Room” would be more festive for the “HOLIDAYs” – and everyone would like eating and feel like Christmas is a good time even for poor orphans! Sister Mary Emeline gave her permission and I did not let her down – we always remembered those days as “HAPPY TIMES” for us – long years after I left the Home! – I always kept in touch – till the month she left this earth!

Kelly Uzzetta became a very good friend – from the day I met with her and two of her younger children – as her family wanted to move from the city to the county – and being the terrific sales person – highly interested in people sincerely interested in making a move and also needing my help – I was the right person for her and her family – and we became the best of friends. Her family and mine were there for a lot of the occasions that bring good friends together – and even today often think about her and just cannot believe how an “Angel” of a person like Kelly could have been taken way to her “Heavenly Reward “before her time?

I’ll always remember my two wonderful friends – so much alike and both born in June!
