Sister Gemma Mary Foran

The Mass was a very fitting tribute to the life of Gemma - a life characterised by generosity, friendliness and generous service to so many. She was a true ornament of the Presentation Sisters of Western Australia. God bless her.

In fond memory of Sister Gemma who from a work colleague in Hedland days became a life long friend to our family. May God reward her for a life spent in his service; her impact on those she touched is something that has not been forgotten. I was taliking to a nephew a few years ago and asked him how come he ended up going to school with the Brothers at Tardun. He told me " after leaving St Ceceilia's I was getting into trouble, so my parenets went and saw this nun Sister Gemma who had taught me and asked for help, and it was through her I went to school at Tardun". This lad turned the corner has a fine family, he and two of his sons are now train drivers in Hedland. This is but one story of how Sister Gemma helped so many. R.I.P. Ray, Ingrid, Kate, Brad, Marie and our eight grandchildren.
