Thank you for this lovely story. I had cousins who were also “sister sisters.” They were Sisters of Mercy and also spent their later years living in the same convent. They were both in their late 90s when they died, one in 2006 and the other last year.

The aunt I am named after was a Sister. Her Irish family called her “Auntie Nun.”
