Despite it all, she still smiled.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-66631877551648169652016-09-04T15:43:44.842-04:002016-09-04T15:43:44.842-04:00Sharon, doesn't that just capture her perfectl...Sharon, doesn't that just capture her perfectly?

Just once in my life I want to go to Jerusalem. The very ground must be holy. Btw, I wonder if the church you visited has marked the chair she sat on, books she touched!<br /><br />Johnell, hard to believe that such a tiny woman could have such an impact, no? But her words and works speak for themselves.Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-73433867899844664352016-09-03T20:53:54.294-04:002016-09-03T20:53:54.294-04:00I went to see her when she came to Saint Mary'...I went to see her when she came to Saint Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco in 1982, because (although I'm not Catholic) I had a feeling this was a chance to be in the presence of a living saint. I couldn't get inside, but saw her as she passed outside. She was bent, and very short. She walked fast, and I still felt I have been in a place of many blessings just for standing there.Mirka Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653086859905415156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-14287403001360456302016-09-03T20:26:03.830-04:002016-09-03T20:26:03.830-04:00She was an amazing woman.
