Grand Social, catching up.

Due to computer problems missed a lot of blogging days.

Hope things are all good now.

Many things been going on.

Lost a dear friend in Mississippi.

A friend, a member of The Sisters of Charity right here in my home town was murdered in Mississippi last week.

Two of them served a poor section of the state as the only health care givers.

Both RN Practitioners.

May they rest in peace.

My heart is heavy

Soulful Friday

Beautiful Nazareth Campus in Bardstown, Kentucky and myself are in mourning for the useless murder of one of our sisters in Mississippi.

Paula Merrill, SCN and her room mate Sr. Margaret were brutally murdered in their home in Missippi on Wednesday night.

It appears to have been a robbery, according to the officials in Miss.

Sr. Paula and Sr. Margaret were devoted registered nurse practitioners who  ran a clinic in the poor section of Mississippi devoting their time to all the needs of the people.

Medical, social and much counseling.

They were loved by all.

Paula Merrill, SCN

 I had just seen and spoke with Sr. Paula last Friday as she was at Nazareth, where I work on Friday, for a meeting.
She was so gracious and happy to see me.
She had worked at the Home Health Agency where I worked, a few years ago.

Our hearts are in pain at the loss of these two saintly women.

We are asked to pray for them and their families and those who did this terrible crime.
