  Dr Clare O’Dwyer

  Dear Mumma, We will miss your strength and unconditional fierce determination. My PhD, completed just in time to tell you is dedicated to you, thank you for congratulating me, it meant so much. You accepted your Autistic daughter and deeply understood that being different is not less, it's a gift to live your life on your own terms without fear. You will never be forgotten and your faith carried you bravely to the other shore. Love Dr Clare O'Dwyer

  Emeka Anele

  Dear Grandma, You were a significant presence in my childhood, taking Nkechi and me to the theatre. You nurtured a love for the arts that carried throughout the whole O'Dwyer family. Those memories will always stay with me. Along with the stories about your independent, strong, and determined spirit. I hope to carry a part of your spirit in my own life. May you rest in peace. Love, Emeka
