i met her once just once at an educators conference.... she was a nun in modern habit.... a older lady with a beatific smile.... a sparkling intelligence, a love for life, a glowing from within... and now she is a photo on the news..... one of those taken from the sky.......
today..... i saw the photo of Sister Philomena of the Sacred Heart...as one of the lost from the plane shot down.....her essence will be missed as will that of the other 298 people senslessly killed.... and the world is a lesser place for this....happening.
