Sister M. Lucia will be long remembered for her ready wit and her joyful spirit, which always made her presence good company. Her pupils will cherish her for her good teaching, especially for the pious practices she inculcated. But above all her other good qualities, is her splendid example as a holy religious, faithful to all her obligations. Beneath her joyful spirit was a deep faith fostered by her good parents, and practiced throughout her life. May God grant eternal rest to her joyful soul.
