I have never known anybody that was so loved and respected by her Community and all her past pupils.. She was exactly what we all imagine a Saint should be. She came from good people and my family always got a warm welcome from Jack and Mary on our way to Shannon. May her noble soul rest in peace.

RIP Sister Paula. She was a kind caring and so nice to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. I and all of my family have great memories of her. She was one in a million. So kind and gentle no matter who you were. She is up there with Pope John Paul, I think they will have both been fast tracked to heaven. Thanks for all you have done for so many people you were one in million. Enjoy your enteral reward with all your loved ones.
