Recent Deaths
We extend our deepest sympathy to the Mulcahy family on the recent death of Jim Mulcahy. Jim was a very popular resident of Hillside Crescent in Kilmacthomas and was a hardworking gent of a man. A very lovable character who loved a good yarn, I had the pleasure of speaking to him many times and what a laugh you would have with him. He was very well known and will be truly missed by many people but most of all by Helen, his sons Alan and Dermot, daughter Fiona, grandchildren, his brothers Tom, Kenny, Bobby, Paddy Joe, David, sisters Siobhan Crowley, Kilmac, Colie O Brien, Blyacknock, Belinda Kearns, Tigroe. We pray that Jim now rests in peace and that his family will find comfort in the wonderful memories he left them.
We also send our condolences to Michael and Eddie O Regan, Kilmagemogue on the recent death of their sister. Mary(Maisie) Hassett nee O Regan lived in Bawnfune, Butlerstown and is survived by her husband Walter, sons Tony and Noel and daughters Miriam and Annette. Her funeral mass took place in Butlerstown church followed by burial in the adjoining cemetery.
Birthday Girl
Congratulations to Tina O Brien, High Road who recently celebrated her 50th birthday. Talk about being fab at 50 this lady would certainly be asked for ID to prove her age. Unfortunately big celebrations are out of the question at the moment but I have no doubt whatsoever that Michael, Saoirse and Sam made sure that Tina was spoiled. We hope that she enjoyed her birthday celebrations and we wish Tina many more happy birthdays.
