What a truly remarkable lady. The bravery to run away into the unknown without as much as a penny in her hand and to endure what she did before that without a hint of bitterness now.
Such a lovely lady remember her so well living in Coolock , she had such a hard life I wish her all the happiness in the world she totally deserves
When this lovely lady was on about putting the sheets through the calander my mother was watching this with me I ask her what it was she told me it was a big machine that you put the sheets through to press them as she spent four years in a covent From 69 to 74 in Manchester from the age of 12 till she was nearly 17
Your story is amazing, an inspiration xxxx your so strong and brave
What a beautiful lady! I hope her and the other girl were able to meet and learn each others name!!
What an incredible Lady, I am glad you took that chance & ran , you are a beautiful strong woman …thank you for sharing your story ..🇨🇦
Many Blessings
My God Diane looks fantastic
She was extremely lucky…. considering the circumstances of course….
Good on you 2 x
I know the story from a Joni Mitchell song & then I found this story. So very sad.
I’m a catholic and I’m angry with these evil nuns of course but we have good nuns who became saints. They also suffered from some evil nuns in the convent.
Why would her mama leave her….she probably endured so much in the foster home too. So little. 8 years old.
How horrible!
Happy Days
