1. It can't possibly be this, can it?

But it is “absolutely false,” he stressed, to claim that she rejected or neglected available medical care for those still treatable, or good palliative care for the terminally ill. “Beware of anecdotal stories circulating from disgruntled people or those with an anti-Catholic agenda,” he warned.

2. our great uncle was instrumental in getting her interested in India missions

I have a letter written by Mother in 1947 to my great uncle Fr. Alex Bombera. He was a Cath missionary in India for 25 years. She was still a young pup.We had some cool show and tell letters to show in grade school, let me tell you. I cried when she died the same day as Diana, as she was ignored. Flash, just like today.

3. That's a cool thing to have.

She didn't write about withholding care to the dying, as some here suggest, in that letter, did she?
