    Sincere and heartfelt condolences to Eileen, Mary, Geannine, Caroline, Brian, Martin, and all of Moira’s adored family.

    We were so sad to hear about your mom’s passing. She was a wonderful lady, and we have precious memories of the kindness and generosity she showed us on our visits to her home in New York. We also recall fondly the visits that she and your dad made to our own home in Castlebin when visiting Ireland. They were a beautiful couple, and we hope that it will be of some consolation to you that they are now reunited, along with their beloved Sean.

    Thinking of you all at this sad time. May Moira’s gentle soul rest in peace.

    So sorry we are not with you all, to share in memories of your mother’s well-lived life. We were blessed to have had you as next door neighbors (particularly when we became new parents) and forever friends. Moira and Tony were so very generous of self and we enjoyed many happy moments with your family. May you remember only the best of them and pass their love on the every generation that follows.

    So sorry to hear of Aunty Moiras passing. We always looked forward to her visits home with Tony and all the cousins down through the years. Bright summer days spent in New Inn and Ballinasloe and of course the occasional party in Monivea. No doubt you are all missing her very much, may she rest in peace.
