Providence Portieux.
Her funeral followed her death at the monastery chapel in Cu

article on November 3, 2009, when we traced back to the place where Philipp
Roesler, the then German Minister of Health, lived during his childhood.

teaching English to children and adults at the monastery of Providence
Council of Soc Trang in 1973 because she was very good at both English and
French.
