MartinaFormer neighbour Howth

David & Anne What a beautiful mass today, she would have been so proud of you both. Don’t know if you remember I use to babysit you both in Howth, Valerie was so besotted with both of you as was your Dad,. We lost touch over the years but I always asked former Cadburys staff about them.. It is a sad time for both of you, but know that that they will live on in both of you. It is a credit to both cel and val that they raised two lovely people. May the winds of heaven blow gently in their ears ❤️

TrishAnne’s friend

God Night and good bye to a lady, always a lady, who opened her heart and her home to a gang of precious teens from Crumlin. My best memory is one of you with a sweeping brush for armament and the Collender on your head, not a drop of alcohol but you laughed and had so much fun that night. It was Anne’s 21st and a great night in your home. One of many memories on one of the lovely weekends we all had. Thank you and God Bless.

David & Anne

What a beautiful mass today, she would have been so proud of you both. Don’t know if you remember I use to babysit you both in Howth, Valerie was so besotted with both of you as was your Dad,. We lost touch over the years but I always asked former Cadburys staff about them.. It is a sad time for both of you, but know that that they will live on in both of you. It is a credit to both cel and val that they raised two lovely people.
May the winds of heaven blow gently in their ears ❤️

God Night and good bye to a lady, always a lady, who opened her heart and her home to a gang of precious teens from Crumlin. My best memory is one of you with a sweeping brush for armament and the Collender on your head, not a drop of alcohol but you laughed and had so much fun that night. It was Anne’s 21st and a great night in your home. One of many memories on one of the lovely weekends we all had. Thank you and God Bless.
