Sincere sympathy to Patsy and all the McShea family on the passing of Veronica, a truly remarkable lady. Veronica upheld all the best values of Catholicism in her actions and attitudes. She was an outstanding sacristan - whole-hearted and meticulous in the carrying out of her responsibilities, and her standards in the presentation of the church were the highest possible. She had all the important attributes required for her role: she was understanding, diplomatic and respectful in all her interactions with parishioners. She will be greatly missed and long remembered.
