Mary's youngest sister Genevieve recalled the visit of her sister in 1918 when Dennis Hughes spoke to her on July 1, 2001. She said that on the night before Mary left to return to the convent, Mary read a story to Genevieve. Genevieve (who would have been four years old at the time) related that she cried when she awoke the next morning and was told that her sister had already left. A picture of the Hartmans on the steps of their home was apparently taken during that visit of Mary. ... Dennis Hughes
