Dear John and family , I had the great pleasure of meeting Martina in Brazil a few years back. I instantly loved her not because we both hail from Co Cavan.
She was so full of Life , electrifying , great craic, a warrior and she shot from the hip. May Martina be welcomed home in the arms of her Creator and may you be all somehow be comforted in this saddest time of separation .
My prayers are for that joyous day when we are all united beyond the veil .
Rest well sweet sister
