Daily Mass

Mt. St. Marys, Greenmeadows. Sun. 22nd Nov. ‘70 Dear Mum & Dad, Well exams tomorrow. Bad news… Someone has just told me that Br. Sylvester died 5 minutes ago. Collapsed this morning – it’s four o’clock now. (Was given the last sacraments). Had better go now. Br. Anthony (who was at Novitiate with me last year) collapsed yesterday & went into hospital but his condition is satisfactory. I think we go into Grand Silence until after the funeral. Will write later… Love from Bruce (P.S. Br. Sylvester’s the Silverstream one at Tony’s time).
