Concerning Sister Fidelis and gum
Letter to the Editor


To the Sentinel:
The passing of Sister Fidelis Kreutzer was a sadness for her family and friends. But we all rejoice knowing she is in God’s loving embrace. It should be noted that one sector of the American economy will suffer because of her going home to God. The Wrigley Chewing Gum Co. has lost its best customer. Over the years, thousands of children have come to know Sister through the endless supply of gum that she carried in her pockets. It is through that simple gesture that many of us were reminded of God’s unconditional love. My two youngest nieces, when they first met Sister, pointed at Sister Fidelis and asked their aunt, “Who is that?” Sister quickly responded in a deep voice, “God!” Sister was right.
