My deepest sympathy to Adele's family. I just wanted to to say a big thankyou to Adele for giving my grandchildren such a great start to their education at St Joseph's. I watched over many years the dedication, passion, kindness, patience and wisdom she bestowed on them all. She certainly had the gift of teaching! Thanks for the many laughs over the years, you were such a wonderful woman. May you rest in peace.

I'm so sad to hear this news. Mrs Henry, as I'll always remember her, inspired me into teaching. I loved her class and the amazing musical experience we had with her. I always remember her getting me into reading- Charlotte's Web and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, both books I remember her reading to us. It wasn't until I was much older than I appreciated how lucky we were to have a teacher like her in such a small school. A great teacher and lovely lady who will be remembered fondly by so many. My thoughts are with her family and all those who loved her.
