Inka Peczerski, 1931-2011

J. Inka Peczerski 1931-2011

Our dear friend Inka, a 2011 graduate of the Catholic Biblical School, has been called to new life in Jesus this week. We celebrate the dynamic spirit she brought to everything she did and we mourn our own loss. We keep Inka and her children and grandchildren in our prayers. We will miss you, Inka!

Here are some thoughts from two of her classmates:

I was shocked to read this.... Last year when Inka and I visited with dying former classmate, Pauline Goulet who passed away on Oct. 30, 2010 from pancreatic cancer, I wonder if Inka knew of her own condition? (Nancy Stimac, Class of 2011)

This is very sad.  (Maureen Brouillard, Class of 2011)
