SMT brought hope and comfort to so many who were in pain and despair,

Her face is one of the most recognizable in the world and many recognize the "Angel of Mercy" image while never realizing what she was doing was good for so many people and is still revered by millions today. She has been called saint of the gutters and The Pope, as bishop of the slums.

My late father, who died around the same time as Mother Teresa did 19 years ago used to say he admired three women during his lifetime. His mom, Maria Teresa, my mom Margarita and Mother Teresa. Although these three special ladies have passed, they will never be forgotten.

If my dad Antonio J Soto II was alive today, he would be proud to say, Mother Theresa is finally a saint. However, her quick rise to sainthood is not without controversy.
