Sending sincere condolences on the passing of your lovely mam grandmother family and friend.
Got to know your mam when your Dad taught us art in Carrakennedy many years ago. Remembering them days with such fond memories.. Bernie came sometimes and we all ended up in Darbys with Eamonn playing the accordion..
Sadly a lot of that class are gone to God.. Memories like that are treasures.
May the Light of Heaven shine brightly on her lovely soul and may she rest with Eamonn in eternal peace.
A life that touches others goes on forever.. Rest easy Bernie.

We were so very sorry to hear of Bernies passing. She was a lovely lady whom we had the privilege of knowing for most of our lives, and we will always remember her with great fondness.

She fought such a long and incredibly brave battle and we hope that she is now finally at peace and free from pain. May she be reunited with her beloved Eamon and all those she loved who have gone before her.

Our deepest sympathies to Eilish, Dara, Graham, Sandra, her beautiful grandchildren and all her family and friends at this very sad time. May her gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
