To Tony, Sal, Joe, all the family and extended family, our deepest sympathies. The welcome she provided to anyone who visited from Ireland meant a trip to your home was always cherrished and a highlight. I think it'll really hit home next time anyone from Tony's Irish crew visit. A huge loss.

The best memories of Lucy and Peter down the Cape when all the kids were small. Peter would bring his homemade wine and sausages and Lucy would be cooking in the kitchen where Joe and Tracey had their cottage. Wonderful people. God Bless.
