I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Sr. Stella a beloved friend to many. My sincere condolences to all her family and friends, in particular the Sisters of Mercy Donegal Town and Balllyshannon. Sister Stella always had a cheery disposition and a good sense of humour. She loved young people and was always concerned about their wellbeing. She lived a good meaningful life and wouldn't hurt anyone. She lived by her faith and prayer in a very unassuming manner. Heaven has certainly gained another beautiful angel. May her kind and gentle soul rest in peace.
