I would like to pass on my condolences, with respect to Mary’s passing R.I.P. Auntie Mary, as we affectionately referred to her, has always been a part of my life, Joe and Mary were my god parents and welcomed me to the home many times when I was a child and also as an adult. Mary was always generous, kind, happy and a funny person to be around. Mary brightened the many lives she touched and will be greatly missed.
Kind regards Phil Giblin
Please accept my apologies, I have tried to get over to the funeral but unfortunately can’t make it. I am truly sorry not to pay my respects in person.
Shocked to hear today of Mary’s death. Although I am in London we kept in touch through the years, especially at Christmas and St Patrick’s Day. Joe was my great pal. We shall miss and pray for both of them and their family.
Maxie & Aida MacDermott and family.
