"Sis"



We just learned today that a beloved member of Myles' family passed away on February 26th. Marie White (pictured on the right), affectionately known as Sis, was 92 years old. Myles' godmother, Aunt Dot (pictured in the center) lost her mother in a fire when she was 14 months old. She and Sis, one year apart in age, were technically cousins but were raised together as sisters. They lived across the street from each other most of their adult lives. We were able to visit with Sis when we went to St. Louis shortly before we left for Poland. She was bedridden but always had a smile and kind words for us. We are sorry we were not able to be with Dottie for her funeral. She was a special lady! Eternal rest, grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
