Dear Teresa and Maura,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom/aunt. May happy and funny memories help to bring you comfort during this difficult time and put a smile on your faces! My iPhone crashed a few weeks ago and I lost all of my contacts. When things settle down and you get a chance, could one of you please share your contacts so we can plan our next group together. Maybe in the spring or summer. Hopefully social distancing will be over by then! Hugs, Lisa

Michael, Teresa Colleen and families please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your loving gentle and soulful mother. A woman who always had a smile. She will be missed not only by all of you but also us the nieces and nephews who down trough the years were lucky enough to be on the receiving end of her hospitality on trips to Chicago and also got one of her lovingly made blankets. Still using mine and think of her every time I’m wrapping it around me on the couch. You are all in my prayers at this difficult time. May Bridgie rest in peace. Love all the Butlers in Galway Ireland

Dear Teresa, Michael, Colleen and families,
So sorry that ye have lost your wonderful mother and grandmother – she was the most caring, loving, selfless, funny and humble person that we knew – “sure it’s no bother “ was her catchphrase as she cared and catered for her family, friends and the Irish diaspora that came to visit and stay. Thank you Breda – it was a privilege to have you in the Lally family.
Anne, Larry and family
