Sister Lillian, you were one of the first religious people I met in my teenage years when I first arrived here from my native Italy. What accepting, welcoming, sharing spirit of brotherhood/humanity you have been projecting since then in all the few times that I have seen you, including this past January, I can now say in my seventies, oh wow! Each meeting has always been a humbling, more humanizing experience for me, in which your ‘Sisterly’ confidences blended into a kind of ‘sisterly’ confidences, where the spirit and the human are one, and forever raised the level of the interactive dialogue. You remain in my heart as one positive, transformative experience that has contributed to mold me into a better person.
Goodbye until we meet again, you beautiful soul! Salvatore Alderuccio
