I remember Sister Mary Lou from the mid/late 80s. How can anyone forget such a special woman. She was my floor nun...2nd Wing. We all loved you. You made our time away from home feel like home. Thank you for all that you did, you did everything from your heart. God blessed us with you Sister Mary Lou. Thank you. With much love and respect. God Bless.

RIP Dear Sister Mary Lou - I will always remember you fondly as one of the best English teachers I have ever had the honour of learning from. I'm pretty sure that there is a class waiting up there for you to inspire... <3

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I have such fond memories of lots of visits and of course, tea in the Rose Room with Sister Mary Lou. She was very special to me.
