I know Ronnie Kavanagh is already in heaven and St Jude and St Anthony welcomed their old friend. She was a great believer in prayer and had one of the best sense of humors which i noted was passed down to her beloved grandchildren. Ronnie-may the road rise to meet you-may the wind be always behind your back and until we meet again-may God hold you in the palm of His hand .-with great sympathy-Julia & Tom Regan
