On the morning of April 11, 2024, I attended the funeral service of Sister Enda Ryan at St Francis Xavier’s Church, Petaling Jaya.

The church was packed to capacity. People from all walks of life – friends, former students and family members – thronged the church to pay their final respects and bid an emotional goodbye to the late Sr Enda, 95, who founded both SMK Assunta and SM Assunta in Petaling Jaya.
