Anne O'ROURKE Obituary

Dear Patrick, Matthew, James and families,
It was with sadness that I learnt of the recent death of your mother Anne and , on behalf of the Rathkeale Old Boys, extend sympathy to you all at what will be a sad time.
The association that your family has had with the College has been a long and valued one and I retain fond memories of time spent in your Mother's company.
With sympathy and all good wishes
Grant Harper

Dear Patrick,Matthew,James and families,
please accept our condolences and sadness on the passing of your mum Anne.
Anne and our mother Pat O'Rourke corresponded on a regular basis which mum enjoyed and appreciated immensely.
Although they seldom saw one another I suspect they where both gracious and beautiful ladies. I know Pat had much of respect for your lovely mum.
On behalf of our families our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time,
warm regards Simon and Sue O'Rourke and the Galloway girls.

Dear Patrick, Matthew, James and families
I was most saddened to read of the passing of your Mum Anne: a dignified, true lady.
Personally I owe your Mum and Dad Gerald a debt of gratitude for their years of commitment during my time at Hadlow.I was honoured and privileged to have their friendship and support and, of course the gift to our School of three capable, quality young men, who made us the fear of other Preparatory Schools, including Huntley!
May prayers and thoughts are with you.
With kindest regards
Kevin Boyce.

I owe a debt of gratitude to both your Mum and Dad Gerald, who I was honoured and privileged to receive their association and, of course, their providing our School with three capable, quality young men, who used their sporting prowess to make us the awe and fear of other Preparatory Schools, including Huntley!

Please accept my sincere sympathy may Anne rest in peace.

My prayers and thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Dear Anne. Our friendship was brief but I will always treasure the time we spent together. Enjoy the quieter time now to reflect on your wonderfully full life that has touched so many. Your spirit will live on in the hearts of those who love you. Kindest regards Elle

Dear James, Patrick and Matthew.
Please accept our sincere condolences...
As you know, Anne was like a mother to me. I'll never forget how she took me in as a part of your family when I first arrived in NZ, and it was the same for the rest of my family when we returned many years later. She was a wonderful woman with proud principals, and we will all miss her. We will definitely be there tomorrow for a final goodbye...
Warm regards,
Cille, Emma, Jane and Steen

Dear Patrick, Matthew and James, I just heard about Anne's Passing, it only seemed like the other day that I was talking to your mum and hearing all the news about you all! She was like a second mum to me and I always loved calling in to see her in Taupo when I'm in New Zealand and having a tea and a few laughs. Please accept our love and prayers from Chris, Fleur, mum, Dad and me! I know mum would have loved to be there but she's over with Chris and Fleur
