Thank you all for your very generous wishes and donations towards Carmel’s retirement. She was overwhelmed by the generosity of St Catherine’s parents.
We gave her a picture by Peter Buckley, 1500 in cash towards her travels as well as a card signed by all the girls and parents.
Below is an email I received from her to us:
Sarah- What a lovely way to start this Saturday morning 
. The Bucket List is growing!
Sarah can I just say how totally overwhelmed I am by the kindness and generosity of you all ! The stunning picture done by Peter will be treasured forever by me and family as will the exquisite card which Angela so beautifully wove together as this captures me and what I sought to do each day. As for your extraordinary contribution to my travel plans ! What Can I Say…….. I promise to make even more treasured memories with it and will think of you all along the way. St. Catherine’s has a way of getting into your heart and soul and that’s certainly true of me so I’ll keep in touch and hear about all the great adventures ahead for you all.
I will be writing to the PA of course but in the meantime Sarah please pass on my heartfelt thanks to one and all. It has been a joy to know you all and your amazing girls .
