God Bless Mrs Donovan

It is with a tear in my eye and a smile on my face that I think about Gaye Donovan. Gaye achieved so much working at St Mary’s and other schools; she taught many children who will always remember her fondly. She always showed compassion in all she did and her service to Catholic education will live on forever. She was a role model and lived the faith which we so preciously hold at our center.

Please keep Gaye’s family in your prayers, especially Brigit Donovan a release teacher here at St Mary’s and her Grandchildren Hemi and Flossy; her husband Viv and all her family; that God will support them in their time of sorrow and give them comfort.

 Afterglow 

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one, 

I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. 

I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, 

of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve, 

to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave behind when day is done.
