She reminds me very much of my own dear mother, also a 'domestic saint' and one who truly reached sainthood by her service to her home and family alongside a somewhat difficult husband. I believe it was my father's inability to relate to her (indeed to all of us) in any personal loving way that actually drove her to a life of love, prayer, service and eventually, GREAT LOVE for our Lord.
ps - I'm from an Evangelical Protestant background, not catholic. We still have our saints, too!
