To Beth,Kathy,Maureen,Paddy and Dan,Sara,Nick and Hannah, sending you all our deepest sympathy at this sad time of your loss of a wonderful mum and grandmother and an amazing woman.There are so many lives she touched in a postive way. So many memories that bring a smile and show the wonderful person she was. So many stories about how she made a difference or made someone's day. She touched my life in so many beautiful ways, it was always such a joy to be in her company and to stay at her home in Dedham. Fran always made her home a place of warm welcome for all things Irish and that included my friends.In old age we lose some if not all of our independence, but we receive back some of the love we gave to others. Kathy I hope you find solace in knowing that you gave Fran back so much love and care over the last number of years and enabled her to continue to live out her years surrouned by what she loved most and in the place she loved most, her beautiful home.I have such wonderful memories of her and she touched my heart like only a wonderful mother touches your heart without the physical touch by love and genuine kindness. She had a wonderful soul, and I have no doubt but she will rest in eternal peace in her heavenly home, having long conversations with Uncle Tom. Thinking of you all at this time of great personal loss for you and the extended family. Wishing I could be closer but hoping you know I will be there in prayer and in spirit as you take Fran to her final resting place. May the road rise to meet you Fran and may the sun be always at your back. In Deepest Sympathy- your cousin Deirdre Kelliher,Callinafercy, Milltown, Co.Kerry.Ireland
