Rest In Peace, Maria Wanda Brann. Your love and light shined bright and will live on forever. 💜💖🤟🏻🙏🏻 Here is a little of her story she shared with me: Born and raised in Summerville, Maine, Maria grew up to become a nun. She was sent to the Deep South, later leaving her calling to become a member of the United States Navy. After serving in the U.S. Navy, Maria became a social worker at Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco. I met Maria while working at San Francisco Catholic Charities. She was a weekly volunteer who sang songs with adult day care clients, many younger than herself. She was a good friend to me and many others. The St. Christopher medal that I wear around my neck was hers when she was a nun. And she gave it to me to remember she was praying for me. I will meet you again sweet angel. You are in my prayers. Thank you for crossing paths with me in this life. I’m forever grateful for your love and kindness 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you, Mr. Polk, for sharing with us your beautiful memories of Maria.
