Sister Graham, who suffered from Parkinson's, lived in a convent just three blocks away, the Franciscan Handmaids of Mary.
God rest our Sister in Christ.

Sad. RIP.
A criminal caused the nun’s death. The police chase was not the cause of her death.
The perps should get the electric pew.

it sure is, nobody deserves to die like that.
I'm going to guess the nun is white since we haven't heard from Rev. 911.
Prayers for all concerned.
