Dear Harrington Family,

I am the niece of Fr. Duggan who was pastor at St. John Brebeuf. I, and my six siblings, remember Sheila Harrington so well - even though we never met her. Our uncle used to bring us the most wonderful treats baked by Ms. Harrington. We would barely greet my uncle when he would arrive at our mother's house because we were too busy checking to see if he brought any treats. Ms. Harrington made, in particular, the most delicious chocolate marshmallow bars. For...

My deepest sympathies go out to Miss Harrington's family and friends. Miss Harrington was truly one of a kind - very special and very good at what she did because her heart was always in everything she did. She was my son and daughter's teacher and she really touched their lives. I consider myself blessed for having had a chance to get to know her - she is genuine. Our prayers are with her family and friends.

Miss Harrington was my 1st grade teacher
almost 35 years ago. I was thinking of her this week because my son has just finished 1st grade. I have always remembered her fondly for being a true example of Christ. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I am so sorry! Sheila was such a fun-loving person. I have many good memories of her.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

Miss Harrington was my 2nd grade teacher, and my favorite teacher at SJB. I have always remembered her fondly, far outshining some of the serious sisters we had through grade school. As a adult, we had an opportunity to come together occasionally, and she continued to be very special to me. We who knew her were truly blessed. She is a true example of living your life to the benefit of others. I thank God for Miss Harrington.

Mrs. Harrington taught my siblings and me in the 60's and 70's. She is what St John Brebeuf is all about. The school and parish lost a great teacher but now have a new Saint in Heaven.

Dear Harrington Family,

May your fond memories of the past bring you a measure of comfort and peace.

Very deeply love and hugs,

Mr. & Mrs. Harrington, Holly, TJ and Jami, and Brendan and the rest of the Harrington family,
I think anyone that had Sheila in their life was better for it- I know I was! I will be praying for you all as you go through this hard time. Sheila was simply amazing and will be missed by so many.
With much sympathy and Love,
Ryan,Theresa,and Maeve Royal

Jack & Harrington Family,
We will certainly keep Sheila and all the Harrington Family in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you in this your time of grief and sorrow.
