I am the younger brother of Mary Louise. We were part of seven siblings, her being the oldest and being number six, myself. For a few reasons, the seven of us were very fairly close. She went into the convent when I was seven or so. With her faith related duties, and my leaving NY for my life adventure, we did not see much of each other for many years. But it was always with amazement that I learned of her worldly missionary travels and exploits.
After she left the nunnery and married Ambi, we got to see them more frequently. And whenever you were in her company, it was always remarkable how good a person that she was. Seemed like she loved everybody and everything in her life. She probably spent her entire life without making an enemy. If there is anyone who we ever met that deserved sainthood,
it was Mary Louise. Too bad the Church is so stingy with its accolades. Even in her waning years, she was constantly busy helping others. A truly good person, who we could all look up to, for her love of life and of others. She will be missed by all who knew her.
