Dear Billy and Fran and all the family,
I have just watched the funeral service of your beloved Mum. It was a beautiful service, the music and singing were so lovely, as were the words from your Uncle Gerry.
Phil always gave us a great welcome when we arrived off the boat from Coventry as children and later as adults from Manchester. The soda bread and apple pies were delicious, they even got a mention in mass today! and the fry ups for breakfast were huge!
Phil was such a great friend of Mum's and I am sure they will be having a good catch-up in heaven tonight.
Sending sincere condolences, prayers and love to you all at this sad…
May you rest in peace Phil, thank you for the lovely conversations and hospitality anytime I visited. You were much loved and will be missed. Nicola x
