Sister did her Nursing Training with me and was a delight to have in the group of four. Goretti had a great sense of humour, loved Poetry, and often used this gift to remember some of the terminology in nursing, giving her a very good memory for answers. She loved her work with the elderly and especially her work in Wanganui and Timaru. Sister left the Order and was happily married living in Christchurch where she developed some very artistic Skills at Card Making and fine Painting. Sister Cecilia Scanlon
