A TRIBUTE TO SISTER BERTHA BLEAU, s.n.j.m.
Dear Sister Bertha,
One hundred years old! This is a happy day which allows us to highlight some of the many events from your long life.
On January 30, 1911, Eva Ricard gave birth to her first daughter; good news for Hermas Bleau, a farmer from l’Épiphanie! 2 other girls and 6 boys would follow.
Bertha studied at the Pensionnat de l’Épiphanie and, at night, took pleasure in helping her mother in the house. She loved studying and even took piano lessons for several years.
