Lynn-Mary OCallaghan

Mrs. O was a great teacher! I had her as my English teacher in 1996-'98. She was a great person and I am sorry to hear what happened. My brother Alex and sister Rachelle also send their regards.

My family and I send our deepest sympathy to Mr. O. and Nora. My children, John, Chris, and Jaclyn had the privilege of being taught and encouraged by Mrs. O. Mrs. O and I had many conversations while she was in her van or car for her breaks. She loved her family very much and always spoke of Nora with so much pride and love.

Even though your hearts may be broken please know that she will always be with you. You just have to believe and talk to her and she will hear you.

I haven't lived in Nazareth since I was eight, but I remember being friends with Nora and I remember her mom. I heard from Jen Aerni. I am so sorry, Nora.

I will miss Mrs. O's smiling face at lunch and her almost daily bagel purchases. She was a bright spot at the last lunch hour. All three of my children had the good fortune to have her as their teacher. We will miss her. May she rest in peace.

I only had Mrs. OCallaghan for one year, but I learned more from her in that one year than I have from all of my English classes in the past six years combined. I thank God for Mrs. O. every time I hear the grammatical mistakes that she taught us how to avoid. God bless you, Mrs. O, and I will continue to miss you.

Mrs. O'Callaghan was the best teacher I ever had. I was taught by her from 1997 to 2000 at Holy Family School. She taught me so much, and I will always remember her.

I was a former student of Mrs. O and she is one of the few teachers I enjoyed having. She always made her students laugh with her sense of humor and her crazy stories. She touched the lives of so many people and she will be greatly missed. My sympathy goes out to everyone for this loss but she is smiling down from heaven on us all.

We miss you deeply already dear friend. A great void is now in our lives. God Bless you, and may He keep you close to His side.
You'll be forever in our hearts.
Love you always,
Bob,Lisa,Tom & Bill

Lynn touched so many lives and truly loved all her students.

My father, a lunch volunteer, commented how impressed he was that she always made herself available to her students by joining them daily for lunch!

Her dedication to Student Council empowered my daughter, only a fifth grader, to further pursue participation this year. And my seveth grade daughter has lost a learning experience no one can fill.

She was always smiling! She only spoke...
