This may go 'nowhere' now but i am trying to find out who Julia (Sheila) Gilmartin nee Galvin was?
I was going through some Das cards of my mother's passing in 1986 and saw a card from Julia and Tom Gilmartin from Palatine. I am guessing that she was a Galvin from Beaufort, Co. Kerry, Irl. - maybe from Alohert or Cooleanig? Rev. Brian Coffey, Beaufort, Co. Kerry.

Dear Tom, John, Teresa and family,
As you know, we were all truly blessed to have had Julia (Sheila) in our lives. I have many fond memories of her and will always cherish them. I was so glad to have been able to attend her services with my Mom, Nellie and Debbie. It was a beautiful send off, she would have surely approved of. She was so proud of Teresa and John and all of her grandchildren. Their great love for her was very obvious too. She will be truly missed but be in our hearts and minds "until we meet again."
May God Bless all of you and be with you during this difficult time.
Love, Bernadette
