To Philip, Gary, Geraldine, Danny and Paddy. I´m so sorry to hear of your mother´s passing. She was a special person with always a kind smile, a cuppa and a warm welcome into her home. I often think of the days around the piano with the guitar´s playing, the accordion, and the singing and yodelling. Such an amazing lady who held her family together with love and music. You will be so missed. Rest in peace. Xx
