“To the family of Louise Mahdi, I only found out about her passing today after 2 years. I was out of the country and when COVID hit, I rarely came to visit the monks of St. Bede. I usually stopped by the Liberty Heritage to visit her before I would head back to Bloomington. Louise was a very good friend of mine. I used to visit her in her house. We shared our passion for dreams and psychotherapy. I will remember her kindness and mentorship forever. Love you, Louise!”
