MY MEMORIES OF SISTER ANITA ARE MANY! MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH SISTER ANITA WAS 1958. SHE WAS MY 4th GRADE TEACHER AT ST. ROSE OF LIMA'S , RC GRAMMAR SCHOOL, NEWARK,NJ (HER FIRST ASSIGNMENT) SHE WAS THE SWEETEST PERSON I KNEW (OF COURSE BESIDES MY MOM & DAD!) SHORTLY BEFORE CHRISTMAS OF THAT YEAR, MY PARENTS INFORMED ME THAT WE WOULD BE MOVING. HEARTBREAKING NEWS FOR A LITTLE GIRL...LEAVING BEHIND THE ONLY HOME & FRIENDS THAT I EVER KNEW. BEING THE LOVING AND CARING HUMAN BEING & TEACHER THAT SHE WAS, SISTER KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE NOTICED I WASN'T MYSELF AND WONDERED WHAT WAS WRONG. WITH TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE I EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM. FROM THAT DAY FORWARD I KNEW I LOVED THIS SPECIAL PERSON...SISTER TOOK ME UNDER HER WING AND MADE MY TRANSITION TO LEAVING THE HOME, FRIENDS & SCHOOL THAT I LOVED AS SMOOTH AS SHE COULD...THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THIS STORY THAT I WISH I COULD TELL YOU, BUT THE HISTORY THAT WAS CREATED WOULD TAKE UP SO MUCH SPACE. JUST KNOW THIS... SISTER ANITA'S KINDNESS WAS NEVER FORGOTTEN AND THAT IS WHY SHE & I HAD A 63 YEAR FRIENDSHIP! I'LL ALWAYS HAVE MY MEMORIES FROM THE DAYS OF ST. ROSE'S, VISITS SPENDING THE DAYS TOGETHER AT HARVEY CEDARS, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN TO NUMEROUS TO MENTION. MY DEAR FRIEND WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART & SHE'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN." DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, PLEASE GRANT MY DEAR FRIEND PEACEFUL REST & GRANT THAT I MAY SEE HER AGAIN IN YOUR KINGDOM." SHE'LL ALWAYS BE A SAINT TO ME. UNTIL THEN, LOVE ALWAYS SR. ANITA, "TONI"
