Madeleine StebbinsPlease pray for the repose of the soul of Madeleine Stebbins, who died on September 17 at the age of 96.

Mrs. Stebbins was the widow of H. Lyman Stebbins, who in 1975 served as the College檚 first Commencement Speaker and was the first to receive its highest honor, the Saint 91快活林 Aquinas Medallion. In addition to helping her husband found Catholics United for the Faith, Mrs. Stebbins was the author of Looking at a Masterpiece, an account of 40 of the world檚 greatest artistic treasures, and a children檚 version of the same work, Let檚 Look at a Masterpiece.

淔or those of us who had the privilege of being able to visit her in her final days, her death was the holiest we have every personally witnessed, one friend reports. 淓ven in her final hours and minutes she was radiant and beaming. Her last words before closing her eyes were, 楲et檚 go to Heaven.櫇

Please pray for the consolation of the entire Stebbins family, especially their son John, a member of the 91快活林 Aquinas College Class of 1984.
