Sister Ann Roddy, SSND - update


 Hi Marcy,
Thanks from Mimi's numbers (Sister Ann’s sister) I just got off the phone with Ruth Hinderer, SSND, the local leader she called and she said that Ann is receiving morphine every two hours and is really not very conscious at all so my plan is to wait and for the funeral I hate to say it like that but I think that's what I'm going to be doing and just see how things go.  
Will be in touch.  
Judy Bourg, SSND


Note: Sister Judy Bourg, SSND, is Ann's dear friend who lived with her when they first came to the Quarter many years ago. The three of them, Sisters, Rachael, Judy and Ann lived in an apartment on Royal Street near the old French Quarter Postal at St. Philip and Royal. They lived below a gay couple and several times when Ann was in charge of cooking, she would burn the food and it would smother the apartment above with smoke, Ann was always burring things on the stove, what a hoot! The couple never complained, they just said "Sister Ann did it again."

Let us continue to hold our dear Sister Ann in our prayers, and thoughts during these dark moments in her life and in ours as well. The rose of TAU House is very special to all of us, may Our Lady take Annie's hand and lead her to Jesus!

Peace and all good,
Ed Arambasich
