Deepest Condolences to Sr Breda’s family, and the Sisters of St Louis. Rath Dara Community College (Riversdale CC) has lost not only a treasured colleague, but a dear friend whose warmth, wisdom, and compassion shaped everyone around her. She was a passionate educator, a caring and devoted teacher, and a wise mentor who led by example and lifted others up with quiet grace. Her kindness was felt by all who knew her, and her friendship was a gift. Though she will be deeply missed, the echo of her kindness and guidance lives on in the lives of those she taught and all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her legacy is one of love, generosity, and profound impact, and that she will always be remembered with gratitude and affection.

Deepest sympathy to all the family on the sad passing of Sr. Breda. May she rest in eternal peace.

Our deepest condolences to Sr Breda's family, community and friends.
Breda was always a powerhouse of compassion and joy when she ministered in Blakestown parish. Unstinting in her commitment to us. A wonderfully kind, caring and welcoming person. Always smiling, a woman of deep faith who shared her love of God in so many practical ways, bringing positivity and hope where ever she was and with everyone she met.
May Sr Breda, faithful servant,
Rest in Peace

Please accept my sympathy on the death of Sr. Breda. She was my principal in St. Louis Ikere. She was loving, compassionate and forgiving to us as students. As a sister she was supportive to me in my vocation and made sure we were always welcome in Blakestown and Rathmines. May her loving, joyful soul rest in peace. Thank you Breda.

My heartfelt condolences to dear Sr Breda's family, and the Sisters of St Louis on her passing. She admitted me into St Louis Grammar School, Ikere-Ekiti as a Form One student many years ago and thus began my journey and ending up being a St Louis Sister today. She was such a mother, guiding her students with such care and kindness. Many of us are who we are today as a result of the way she trained us and brought us up, and continued to encourage us on our life's journey. We owe her a debt of gratitude, and may God reward her now for her great service, and welcome her warmly into her new home in eternity.

May Sr Breda rest in eternal peace. A lovely woman. From a former pupil of Riversdale CC

Rest in eternal peace Sr. Breda, such a kind, gentle person. Our lady of Knock pray for her.

It is with deep sorrow I mourn the passing of Sr. Breda. We have been best friends since first we met in boarding school in St. Louis Convent, Carrickmacross. Until recent years, with three or four of our faithful class friends, Sr. Breda joined us for lunch and chat on our special days out. The venue might be the Gresham or Navan or Athboy. An intrinsically good and sincere lady, Breda was serious but with a charm and committment that inspired. To all the O'Hanrahan and O'Kelly families wherever, I extend my deepest sympathy. May her chosen Community, The Sisters of St. Louis, especially Sr. Frances, find consolation and peace in their sad loss of dear Sr.Breda. May her gentle soul rest in eternal peace ! Go raibh a h-anam uasal, dílis go h-árd ar Fhlaitheas Dê de shíoraí na beatha ! Amen. Maureen
