Anne is finished!! Maternal bragging warning....


OK. I'm warning you. I'm about to brag about my oldest daughter. She just took her last college exam today and nailed it. The above picture is at her induction into an international honor society for nursing. She has worked REALLY HARD. School has not always been easy for her, but she is very intelligent and she just does whatever it takes. She learned just the other day that she has also qualified for the Dean's list-- High Honor Roll. WOOHOO!!! You go, girl! She has also worked all through school and paid for a large portion of her expenses. Her new job as an R.N. will be in the cardiac progressive care unit at our local Catholic hospital. My friend Patti said, "That's great. Now she can take care of us (meaning Patti and me) when we end up there." We both have strong family histories of heart disease. It's kind of a joke between us. (a morbid joke?) Better to laugh about the possibility than fret
about it, right? Anyway, Anne, we are so proud of you.

Rosemary, what a delightful daughter you have, not only is she absilutely bautiful, but she is intelligent too! I can imagine that she has just as beautiful a demeanour and spirit as her looks :-)

It's excellent news about all hr hard work paying off, I pray that God will bless her endeavours in helping to care for and heal the sick....her whole life will be an act of charity. That's a beautiful thing!

Congratulations Anne!

I just have to say that Anne really is as wonderful as she seems to be: Warm, kind, funny, intelligent, beautiful, humble--honestly, I could go on and on. Congratulations, Anne, on your graduation and all of your accomplishments. We need good nurses like you (not that I'm planning to be your patient!) Pat M
