To the McNamara family, We send our sincere condolences from England. Marian remembers wonderful holidays staying with Maureen and Finney and the McElroy family (her cousins). Auntie Maureen even made a soda bread for Marian to take home as she loved it so much. Fond memories of Maureen also held by Rose (the late Josie McElroy’s sister). Your Mam/Granny was a beautiful, warm and kind lady. With love from The Cullen and Tomkinson families in Oakham, England.
