Slain Nuns Leave Void In Mississippi Community They Served

On Thursday morning police found a pair of nuns killed in their homes, during what appears to be a home invasion. Sisters Margaret Held and Paula Merrill were served in a rural Mississippi community. When neither of the sisters showed up for work at the clinic, both were nurse practitioners. Coworker, Dr. Elias Abboud, had worked with the sisters for a long time and said that they helped to build up the Medical Clinic and he isn't certain what will become of the facility following their passing.
