Sr. Bernard Lynch RIP

Since Last Monday a veil of sadness has hung over Athlone.

Sr. Bernard Lynch was suddenly called home to be with the God she loved and devoted her life to.

Sr. Bernard has touched the lives of many families over her 50 plus years in Athlone and will be very fondly missed by all. May she rest in the knowledge that she has left a legacy of faith and service behind in her adopted home   Athlone.

On Friday we said a very sad farewell to her as she was brought for her last drive though Athlone on route to Ss. Peter & Paul’s Church for her funeral Mass. After Mass Sr. Bernard was brought to her native Arigna in north      Roscommon where she was laid to rest with her parents.

Sr Bernard thank you for your hard work, example of a lived faith and devotion to the people of the parish. You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith.

May God now reward you for a life well lived.

Sr. Bernard May you rest in the peace of Christ.
