Family, pupils bid farewell as teenager laid to rest

HER chair will be empty in the exam hall but the memories 17-year-old Teresa Norris left behind are rich and full.

So said Patrick Callanan, Teresa’s school principal at Comeragh Vocational College in Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary, where she was a pupil until her untimely death last Monday.

Yesterday Teresa, from Tracey Park in Carrick-on-Suir, was laid to rest at nearby St Mary’s cemetery, just one week after the schoolgirl developed flu-like symptoms.
