Early in the afternoon on December 4, Megan Sgroi (South Bend) was pushing her grocery cart up and down the aisles when she felt the pain level in her back rising. She didn't think she had the strength to finish her shopping, so she left her cart in front of the service desk and hurried home for a rest. She thought about skipping the community meeting at 3:00, but decided she would go and brave her way through it.

I first met my very good friend Abbie Teeter in San Francisco in the early 1970s, when she drove several of us to a weekend retreat of John the Baptist Charismatic Renewal Community. We shared many memorable experiences in those days. The JBCRC Saturday evening prayer meetings were so crowded that some of the people would usually be sitting on the floor, and after the meeting we’d go to someone’s home for Mass, and then stay up talking till the early morning hours.

Beryl Plodowski (South Bend), an energetic and outgoing wife, mother and covenanted sister, has gone ahead of us to meet God face to face. She had lived in Florida since 1985, but the details of her life spanned nations and continents.

Elizabeth Cerrentano, better known to her family and friends as Betty, left us in the Rockford branch on October 16, 2010, at the age of 59. Her death seemed to come far too early, especially for those of us who had known and appreciated Betty's melodious laughter and had seen her unconditional love. If you were the happy recipient of Betty's kind of love, you would have known the wonderful experience of sitting down with her and recounting one of life’s trials, familiar to all, and then you and Betty would have both had a good laugh that lightened your load, every time.
