Dear Kevin and Brian,

I am so sorry to hear of your father's death, may he rest in peace. My mother, Ann (Hannah-Mary) always spoke of him with such fondness and love, he was the youngest of her brothers. I always got the impression that they were the young and naughty siblings who had great fun.

I remember Mike when he visited Ireland, he was a kind and gracious man with great warmth.

I was with you in Sneem, a few years ago now, when we remembered your mother, Eileen, it was lovely to see you all then.

It is such a painful time for you and I extend my deepest sympathies. You will be in my prayers.

Much love to you from Chinny, Mike and Siobhan
