Sincerest condolences to all the family. Having met Catherine (through David) only once she remains imprinted on my mind and in my thoughts - a woman of faith, convicted in her beliefs and intimately made religious and profound choices with our Father/ Mother in holy grace! No doubt she’ll have a lot to say to St, Peter at the pearly gates. He can’t but let her into the heavenly kingdom where she will fulfill her life in the glory of God..
We send you on your way Catherine with Our Lady at your side. Remember those of us left behind who need you to intercede for us.
Rest in peace - Amen

It is with immeasurable sadness that I write this condolence following the passing of Miss O’Brien.
She taught me Latin, Irish and French for 6yrs.

Miss O’Brien was a remarkable teacher, who always made the subject matter. (I always endeavour to incorporate Miss O’Brien’s differentiated language teaching methodologies in to all my own lessons).

God from me, please bless and cherish her presence in Heaven.

She was one of a kind.

Ní bheidh a leithead arís ann.

Miss O’Brian, until me meet again 🇮🇪 🙏 💚🤍🧡 🇮🇪

A treasure can never be replaced. It can only be missed forever. That was my first thought when I heard we had lost Auntie Catherine. She was a genuine treasure to all of us. How I loved my cup of tea and warm welcome every year when I’d be home. She was a role model to all of us. May her beautiful example of faith, friendship and love live on in all of us who were so blessed to know her.
