Bonjour les frères et sœurs Richards, c'est avec une grande tristesse que j'ai appris pour le décès de Breda, et j'imagine votre peine. Je garderai d'elle son hospitalité, son humour, et de nombreux souvenirs d'adolescence. Dans tout cela vous restez son plus beau travail et une belle fraterie. Toutes mes condoléances et plein d'amour, Morgane.

Davina and MicaFriends

We’re so sad to hear about Breda’s passing. She played such a big part in our lives. What started as Mica renting a room from her for one week turned into staying for three years, which was full of friendship, support, and laughter, she looked after Mica like family from the moment she arrived in Ireland, and later welcomed me in with the very same kindness. She stood beside us at our wedding, trusted us with her beloved dogs, Frankie and Murphy, and was a source of warmth and friendship. We’re so grateful for everything she did for us, and we’ll always carry her memory with love. Thinking of you all and sending strength at this difficult time. Love, Davina and Mica Xxx
