I’ll miss you grandad. Thank you so much for all the times we’ve spent together and the days you’ve taken me out for ice cream. Thank you for the times you’ve held my hand whilst we crossed the road. Rest well, I love you.

With great sadness but lovely memories of uncle Sean - of him sitting at the bottom of my garden in the sunshine with a cup of coffee and a cigar; of celebrating his 60th birthday in Sligo with a family dinner; and especially of walking me down the aisle on my wedding day when my father had passed away. Fond memories of a wonderful man. May you rest in peace.
