Dear NZ cousins and spiritual sisters of Mary Anne, my deepest sympathy on your loss. I will treasure my memory of her as a most kind and generous person who clearly had a special place in her heart for refugees, migrants and others without a voice in our communities. I have no doubt she was a very special sister to you all.

Sincere sympathy for all the family and Sisters of Mercy as you farewell dear Maryanne. She was a most dedicated and caring teacher and later so committed to working for the welfare of migrants. Rest in Peace, Maryanne.
