Regarding her sweet life I wrote in the CHRISTIAN LEADER as follows: 'Among Christians, especially pure innocent girls, there are some whose faces seem to bear an angelic expression, which impresses one with the thought that the rose shall soon be plucked from among the thorns of sorrow and strife in a world of sin and transplanted to sweetly bloom, in the sinless and sorrowless paradise of God.'"
