My dear friends of the beautiful Fahy family. Mac & I send our deepest condolances for your loss. There was never a time that I did not enjoy Dorthea's company or most important sense of humor. Great lady, great loss, but leaving a legacy of supplying the world with some darn good stock. Dorthea, May your night caps be chilled with the best Irish that is available. Save me a good one to toast with you when I get there. I like Glenlivet and single malt whiskey with one cube. And, remember that "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" my friend

Love you all.

Mac & May McDermond

And yes, I do believe that D will read this.
