Sympathy Notes

  1. Fionnuala and Ian Murphy Brisbane Australia April 18, 2021

    We were very sorry to hear the sad news of Annie’s passing. We would like to offer our sympathy to all the family at this sad time.
    I’ve known Annie as long as I have known Mam and remember her when she was in her prime driving those mini vans. They both loved a great chat and keeping each other informed of all the news in town.

    God bless will be thinking of you all.
