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.

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.
