Martina, Dermot and John , I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. I loved her as a friend, mentor and fellow Nurse. I have many cherish memories of working side by side with her at Bridgeway Senior living many years ago. I also was blessed to continued to know her after she retired from Nursing. I know she is at peace and reconnect with you Dad in heaven. God bless you and your entire family . ” May the road rise to meet you .May the winds be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rainfall soft upon your Fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand”.

I’m so sorry to hear of your Mom’s death. She (and your Dad) were constants in my youth – always generous with conversation, kindness, and a heartfelt welcome. They were great friends of my parents, Jim and Sylda Hickey. Your parents inspired me as a child, and to this day. I mourn with you.
