So sorry to hear of Auntie Anns passing. For the few times I was fortunate to meet her in Cootehill and in her home in Whitestone she was so kind and caring, a beautiful person both inside and outside. I was glad to hear via Peadar that she made it home to her nearest and dearest from hospital. My sincere condolences to you all. Brid Meehan Formally Cassidy, Walter Sarah and Orla Killiney Co Dublin.
My deepest sympathy to all my cousins on the death of your dear mother. Auntie Ann will be remembered for her warm, generous heart and great sense of humour. She always made you feel so welcome in Whitestone. May her gentle soul rest in peace. Love and Blessings, Seán
