MY STORY
by Sister Panther Rose, OF

This is my story.

I am Sister Panther Rose and I am a Love Cat. My father, Grimaldi, abandoned my birth mom, Violet Mae, right after I was born. My birth mom was very kind and beautiful but she did not have the means to take care of me. Heartbroken, she realized she would have to give me up. She put me in a little wicker basket, tied a red bow on the handle, and left me on the steps of the Convent of the Order of Felines.

When the Sisters opened the front door and saw me there in my little wicker basket with the red bow, they were overjoyed! They exclaimed, "Oh, look, we have a gift!" They danced for joy! So many Sisters and yet not one of them had ever had such a gift before.

I lived with the Sisters and they brought me up as one of their own. They were both mothers and sisters to me. I am grateful for their love and for teaching me their ways.

This is My Story and I am sticking with it.

Sincerely,
Sister Panther Rose, OF
