Dear Mrs. Roberts, Faculty, Staff and Students,
Well I’m safely back at the convent since Monday, February 27th and thank God I’m recuperating very well. I’m walking with a walker.
Sincere thanks to all the past and present teachers who visited me and brought flowers etc. while I was in Boca Regional Hospital, and Heartland Rehab.
Many thanks Mrs. Roberts, faculty and staff for the pretty floral arrangement. It had many admirers every day! I also enjoyed the magazines, puzzles, candy and gifts. The highlight each evening was reading all the interesting and beautifully decorated cards that the students made for me.
I truly appreciate your support and prayers during my stay at Boca Regional Hospital and Heartland Rehab.
May the Lord bless your generosity with good health.
Love and prayers,
Sr. Kathleen Sweeney
