Read MoreSister Euphemia was the best teacher anyone could ever have. She deeply cared about her students and their futures. She was remarkable and very strict. But by being strict, it meant that she cared a whole lot. I will never forget her, and may the angels and saint with which she is now with watch over her and God too.

Sister Euphemia was a MAJOR force in my formative years. As a kid, I absolutely did not understand just how special she was. At the ripe age of 36, I look back now and I think back to the years I spent as her student SO fondly. She will be forever missed. Thank you for helping my formation as a Catholic and as a student. I love you forever and for always, Sister.

I remember Sr. Euphemia well from her many trips to Ireland. May her gentle soul rest in peace.

While I did not know Sister personally, I have read many wonderful tributes to her from many other former students of Bellarmine-Jefferson High School in Burbank. Thank you, Sister, for your many, many years in the service of God's people. Enjoy your Eternal Reward!
