Our hearts go out to Mary & Noel, Sean and Eileen. Also to Mary Mac, Eileen and Paul, Noreen, Louise and family and David. It is hard to put into words how special this wonderful lady was to so many of us. John Willie soaked up the heat of the range many many evenings discussing the events of the day and filling the kitchen with laughter. There was always a big warm welcome and within minutes the kettle was pushed over to the hottest spot of the range. Our children, when they were young, loved to visit and watched with joy the way Margaret would pour their tea and the love with which offered it to them. I felt so welcome in that house. I got such a laugh at the stunts Sean and Jackson used to pull and the stories they would tell, many of them promped by Margaret. Bernard will never forget the late evening wedding that never happened, the days at the mart and the wonderful dinners Margaret would create. Catherine didn't miss out either. She enjoyed her many evening visits with her daddy. She loved organizing the shoes under the table and played with the dog. Margaret will be missed so much by all who loved her. Having passed on Maggie"s (her mam) birthday, she was ushered on the express line through the pearly gates and joined the birthday party in heaven where her and John, wrapped in each others arms, danced around joined by Lackie and Maggie and all those gone before them. May she rest in peace.
