You don't need to use the picture but I thought I'd show it to you anyhow. She was a honey. Celebrated her 94th birthday on March 18th but was already going into final cardiac failure but got herself dressed and around for her birthday party at the noon dinner. Even in her condition she didn't look much different than this photo taken at her 93rd birthday!
Her name: Elizabeth of the Mother of God (Chisholm), born in Salem, MA. Was a dietician in Mount Sinai Hospital on 5th Ave in NYC before she entered Carmel. Loved that work and never lost her taste and finesse with food. She always knew what the ingredients of something was when she put a piece into her mouth. She made her first profession in 1949. I lived all my 44 years of religious life with her--it is hard to believe that she is not here, although I am sure I'll be hearing from her!
She died on Holy Thursday and was buried Easter Monday. Two weeks before she died she had a sense that she would be going soon and was "packing her bags" as we call it, for days. She knew and was in much peace.
