Sister Eileen Francis (as my eighth-grade classmates and I knew her) was one of the finest teachers I've known. She was a warm and helpful person who I'm sure made a difference in many young lives. I offer my condolences to her family, friends, and many former students.

Sr Eileen Francis was my 8th grade teacher at St Pat's in Natick. She also directed us in the choir (along with Sr Magdalena). She was awesome one of my all-time favorite teachers and a very special person. I haven't seen her in many years but have many fond memories of her. Rest In Peace, Sister.

Sister Eileen Francis was my eighth grade nun at St. Patrick's in Natick. She was a major positive influence in my life. Heaven has definitely gained another angel. You have successfully completed your journey. Rest in peace Sister.

Heaven has gained another angel. Sr. Pat was the most gracious, kind, and gentle Sister of St. Joseph who filled Spellman with a special compassion and light. She shared understanding and Spirit-centered wisdom with each encounter and she will be missed!

Sister Pat was loved by so many students and staff whose lives she enriched and touched. I had the privelidge of working with her at Cardinal Spellman for 7 years in the Admissions office. Her love and care for each and every applicant to Cardinal Spellman was an inspiration. Blessings and comfort to all her family that she loved so dearly.
