I was in Nashville and stopped by St Cecelia Convernt

This is not a good post. I was in Nashville Friday with my dad. He wanted to see one of my school teachers. We went to St Cecelia's Convent. Regrettably Sister Inez passed away 1 year ago (June 7, 2006). I did stop by and saw her grave that is located on the convent grounds. r Inez had a profound influence on my growth as a person.

I located her obituary and thought I would post it:
