Gertruda Niedziela (age 81),born in Wielowieś on March 15,1869

Mother Columba Białecka, the foundress of the convent in Wielowieś, I remember her very well. Rather petit, slim, at all times cheerful and smiley, she always hastened with help to the sick. And when already too weak to do it herself, she delegated the duty to attend the sick and the dying to her sisters.

For her sacrificing ministry, her cordial attitude towards all, particularly to the suffering and the disadvantaged, she was universally named “Angel.” I recall this one detail that she was buried in a double coffin and that some papers were laid there in a bottle.
