My sincere condolences to all of you on your loss. May she rest in peace.
My Dad passed away in November 2019, in Ireland. Maira left a lovely message. It is my Grandfather of the same name that she was searching for. I would love to hear any stories about my Grand-dad, that Redmond might have...and share a little of how Joe Fairs life unfolded after they lost contact. [email protected]
