Not sure what to say?

What endless delightful conversations we had together -- Nancy and I -- following the advice she said came from her sister... disagree without being disagreeable!

I think about her all the time. Can't believe it's been 2 yrs.

I was a student at St Paul HS ,,,Nancy ( Sister Cateri) Taught me in my junior year She was a kind woman always had a smile and I never remember her raising her voice to another student, I was also taught by her Husband Jerry ( Brother Cormac) I recently found out that he has passed also , for years I wondered What the two were doing and Where did they Live as I had a burning desire to thank both for my education Alas , So many times I was close by , Working in La Grange
Im saddened...

My deepest sympathy to family and friends! Prayers of strength.

I was blessed to have Mrs. Ryan as a teacher at Naz. She was thoughtful, kind, and made learning a real treat. May she Rest In Peace.

I had the privilege to be taught by both Nancy and Jerry at St. Paul. I will always be grateful for Sister Nancy's kindness, words of encouragement and her absolute willingness to listen to a teenage boy trying to find his place in this world. The world has lost a great spirit. I am forever grateful to them both.

Mrs.Ryan you will be dearly missed but your legacy lives on in everyone of your students. Rest In Peace.

There was always something special about Mrs. Ryan, her enthusiasm was contagious, a quick wit, a kind heart, and always a twinkle of mischief in her eye. She was a lovely woman through and through. Rest in peace, Mrs. Ryan. It was an honor to have been educated by you.

Dar Beth and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother had an amazing life and her spirit and strength will always be with you.
My best to you and your family,
