My dear Mother Juana:
My dear Sisters:
In this day of Saint Louise, your founder and patron, your model and guide, I am united with every one of you, in spirit and in prayer.
For your life?s testimony, for your joy in service, for having taught us to love the poorest without any personal interest, because you are always near, for your companionship, your hospitality and affection, your simplicity and courage, I thank you, today and always. Thank you to Saint Vincent and to Saint Louisa, especially today, for having founded the Daughters of Charity, for the good of the poor and the pride of our great family.
You are always in my heart, in my memories, in my present and in my future. I love you and I thank the Lord for giving me the opportunity to have met you.
With my particular affection,
Patricia P. de Nava
