I am so very sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. Growing up, we were always so fond of her and loved to visit. I will always remember her warmth, her kindness, her genuine interest in what I was up to and, funnily, the way she always called me ‘loveen’. Mary showed great kindness to my mam through some difficult times, even when experiencing her own health difficulties. A lovely lady. Sincere condolences to Jim, Sinéad, Clíona, Declan and their families. Sleep well Auntie Mary and give Dad a hug from me. Pat x
