In loving memory of Serah Cowley-Lupo, a remarkable woman whose presence touched the lives of countless individuals at 183 Richmond Rd and beyond. Serah, you were not just a mother to one son at St Paul's; you embraced over 300 young men and their families, becoming their guiding force and dear friend.
Your energy and enthusiasm were infectious, leaving a positive and lasting impact on the entire community. Your voice carried strength and determination, and those who crossed paths with it knew they had to heed your words.
Your attention to detail made community events colorful and seamless, and your kitchen skills, alongside your dedicated group of mothers, made every gathering a delight. When it came to achieving goals for the community, Mr Fouhy and others quickly learned that a "No" was not an option when dealing with you. Your persistence and charm made sure of that.
The cultural groups within the community have countless cherished memories of the love and friendships you cultivated. Your care extended not only to your own son but to all the young men of St Paul's College, making them feel like your own. It's no wonder they affectionately greeted you as "Mum" or "Aunty," and parents, in turn, referred to you as "sis." Your bond with the community was truly special.
We thank Sefanaia for sharing you with St Paul's, and we are eternally grateful for the time you spent with us at 183 Richmond Rd. You have left an indelible mark on our hearts, and your legacy will forever be cherished at the Home of the Brave. As you move on to your next journey, know that you have touched lives and inspired countless individuals with your love and dedication. Go in love, Confortare Esto Vir.
