Sister Eleanor Granger, OSF

Tim Burchill will live in my heart as a friend and a colleague as well as a gift in my life. I first knew Barb and Tim as parents and members of St. Mary's Parish in Winona. Tim was a member of the School Board when I was principal of St. Mary's School. He was generous, imaginative, wise and a true professional. Throughout those years, I witnessed his creativity and wisdom and his dedication and I will be forever grateful. Over the last years, we have collaborated periodically in various ventures; I was about to ask him to share his multiple gifts once again when I heard the news of his untimely death. My prayers and love are with Barb, Sarah and Jesse these days and will continue in the days and months to come. I send sympathy and prayers to the Community of the University of St. Mary's of Minnesota.

Peace and all good, Sister Eleanor Granger, OSF
