Deepest sympathy on the death of Mary to Denis and all the Burns and Cassidy families and also to Maura who will miss her like a sister. Mary was one of those people who brought out the best in all who knew her. We are sorry we cannot attend the funeral due to illness but we will watch on line. Irene and Mick Geelan.
