Pat Joe and Family,
We are all very sad and sorry to hear about the loss of Auntie Margaret. She was such a kind hearted person and we all have very fond memories of her trips back home to Ireland. She was remembered in a Mass held in Newcastle on Saturday 14th which was attended by all family and friends. After which we reminised about days gone past. She will be sadly missed but never forgotten in Newcastle and in Mourne.
God bless you and all the family.
