May we express our sincere sympathy and condolences on the death of dear Aunty Margaret. Our fondest thoughts go out to Charlie and Teri and to Charles and Peter and also their families. Words seem so very inadequate to express the deep feelings felt when a loved one from the family passes away. There is such an empty space that can only be filled by happy memories. May she find her resting place with God. All our love, Peter and Veronica. Crewe, England

Barry’s tea and cookies.
And a good story well told.

Smells from your kitchen
With a place at the table
And your welcoming smile.
Then all too soon in that
Margaret Dunleavy lilting brogue

Oh, you leaving already?”
By bye dear and God bless”

A generous life fully lived
Your precious gifts to me.
After all those times and
Even though I know it is time.

"Oh, you leaving already?
Bye bye dear and God bless."

My heart goes to all those who have lost her irreplacable presence particularly her dear Charlie, daughter Teri and Joe and Helen Glynn.
