Stephen, Clive, Jonathan & family. Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mum. Our immediate memory of your Mum is that she was a most dignified and warm lady, qualities to be admired and that she most certainly passed on to her boys. We can’t believe that we can’t be with you in Sligo as we are in Crete but please be assured that you are all in our thoughts today, tomorrow and onwards
Deepest sympathy Stephen and to all of your family.
Thinking of you at this sad time. Remembering you in my prayers.
Your mum was a lovely lady and I forgive her for hammering me at badminton 30 years ago. She is reunited with your dad and brother so she will find more happiness. Love to you all at your time of loss. Padraic and family
