Sister Mary Francisca Klotz CMRI

Kevin Strain: Sr. Francisca gave her heart and soul to her students, fellow sisters, clergy, parishioners, and people of all strands and walks of life. The least I could do was help in burying the mortal remains of this good servant of God. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace Amen. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in Your arms for all eternity O Lord and serve as a reminder that we are all only one heartbeat away from eternity. Thanks be to God.

Kathleen Plumb: I had only a short time with you, at dinner during the Fatima Conference, and a few hellos, but I'm thankful to have had that and may better pray for you. Kathleen Plumb

maria hayes: She was my 5th grade teacher in the 70's. The following was an assignment to memorize. It was the first longest recitation from memory I ever had to do. Interestingly it has always been my favorite throughout life. 1 Corinthians 13:
R.I.P.

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
