Kevin and Deirdre McGuinnessnephew

We are sorry that we are not able to attend the funeral. Our girls were at Jimmy’s granddaughter’s bridal shower yesterday, which is part of Jimmy and Maura’s great legacy as a family. The last time Jimmy was over in the States he came to see us and we remember the great time we had with him. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

Tom ShieldsA dear lifelong friend

Sending my love to all the McGuinness Family, who mean so much to me.
Jimmy always had my back in the school yard, back in the Cootehill days, looking out for me like a big brother. Also my time emigrating, at only 18 years old, the whole McGuinness family from Jimmy’s mother and Jimmy and Paschal did everything they could to help. I will be eternally grateful as they always took care of me.
You all will always be Family to me.
Love, Tom
