My kindergarden teacher passed away at age 100

I went to the visitation for Doreen Lewis this afternoon, who died on December 6. We celebrated her 100th birthday this summer. She was my kindergarden teacher when I was little. Please pray for the repose of her soul.

Obituary
In Loving Memory of Doreen Mary Frances Lewis (nee D'Cruz)

The oldest of 12 children, is united with her loving husband, William Lewis, and her eldest son, Richard. She will be sadly missed by her children: Michael Lewis (Brockville), Mark Lewis (Pointe Claire), and Celia Wiley (Sudbury - David predeceased). She leaves behind a legacy of 29 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren who celebrate her life of service and deep belief. A third-order Franciscan, Doreen, inspired by the Holy Spirit, spread the Love of God in community works of Faith. Church communities where she lived her faith were changed by her Loving presence at St. Lawrence, (Karachi), Ste. Suzanne (Montreal), St. Charles Borromeo (Toronto), and St. Patrick's in Sudbury. A dedicated teacher and consummate pedagogue, she left her mark on the hearts of her students for almost 50 years from her beginning in Karachi, Pakistan to Montreal, Quebec. To all who knew her and loved her, she would say " I love you, I bless you, I leave you in God's hands".
