I think this is the picture that I prayed in front of at Kenwood as a novice and so I still think of my "Mother Duchesne" as an older grandmother. She definitely was always seen as kind and motherly by all of us at the Academy of the Sacred Heart in St. Charles. I was surprised to find out that many in the Eastern Province thought of her as very austere. Everyone knew her as a woman of prayer. She is a great pioneer and still seems very close to me.
