Grover Cleveland for a long time had the distinction of being the only man to have two non-consecutive terms as President of the United States (1885-1889) and (1893-1897), so it is possible that Mother Maddalena knew a little of the big-man-with-a-tender heart who was president as she was getting established at Omaha, New Orleans, and Evansville.    
Cleveland indeed was a big man – over 250 pounds for most of his adult life – but one of his soft spots was children.  He would cry when he heard youngsters singing Christmas carols.  He would get misty-eyed if he saw his children sledding in the yard.  But what really made the bulky man shed tears was when he overheard his young daughters say that one girl in their class did not receive a Valentine when they were distributed at school.  The former president of the United States - the man who made people jump as he slammed his big fist on the desk – had rivulets running down his cheeks as he thought of the heartbreak of that little girl.  A valentine bearing the name of Grover Cleveland was delivered by special messenger to the damsel’s home.  This was a typical gesture of a gentle giant whose dying words were: “I have tried so hard to do right.”   This was the man who was the object of Mother Maddalena’s prayers for many years.
