Sister Delores
A trusting friend and mentor who made a significant contribution to who I am today.
In 2015 I met a nun named Sister Dolores who told me as soon as I met her that she would never retire since Saint Mother Teresa never retired.
Sister Dolores worked at a school for 21 years in the Philippines. After returning to Canada Sister Dolores settled in London, Ontario. They called her Mother Theresa of London Ontario. Tiny, but feisty Sister Dolores would go to city hall, time after time saying that there were people living on the street and demanded that the city give them a home. The city finally agreed and provided two shelters. Sister Dolores took in the people who other shelters refused. She treated them as family and helped them get back on their feet. Many people she helped had suffered major trauma. I did not know it at the time but Sister Dolores led the way and gave me a great example to follow by treating people, who were struggling, with great compassion, love and respect. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and retain their own human dignity. It was a blessing to walk with Sister Dolores on her journey and I would be honored to be part of your journey.

May she rest in peace.
