I am deeply saddened to hear of my fond cousin Marie´s death. My deepest sympathy to you her family whom she loved, cared about and always had in her thoughts. She was a special link with my late mother´s sister Maria Healy - Marie´s Irish grandmother. It was my aunt Alice who first got us writing to each other. I loved to hear from Marie and I´m going to miss her emails . May Marie send you Gods comfort. Suaimhneas siorai lena hanam
