EGAN - Mary who died (February 2, 2023) R.I.P. Late of 131 Oak Court Drive, Palmerstown, D20 and 19 Pearse Street, Athlone. As we the Egan family remember our sister Mary who died February 2, this year, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all who attended Mary's funeral Mass and burial, especially Mary’s friends and neighbours who travelled from Dublin to be with us. To all who sent Mass cards and condolences and letters of sympathy to our family. Thank you to all the people who attended the reposal and her close friends who kept in touch with us during her illness.

Sincere thanks to all the staff of Mowlam Nursing Home, Moate and all the healthcare professionals who attended to Mary's needs during her illness and to Dr Loyola Lowry who was Mary's G.P. for over 20 years. Thanks to Rev. Fr Jimmy Murray, Carmelite father who attended to her spiritual care while she was in the nursing home and who with Rev. Fr. Brian McKay gave her the last rites. Thanks to Mons. John Roche who celebrated Mary's funeral Mass in St. Peters & Pauls Church and burial service in Coosan Cemetery and also Rev. Fr. Innocence CC who assisted at the Mass. To Patrice and Bernard Coyle for the beautiful musical arrangement and singing, which Mary would have particularly loved. Thanks to Seamus Flynn Funeral Directors for their professionalism and kindness and attention to detail. To the grave diggers in Coosan Cemetery for preparing Mary's resting place, to the management and staff of the Hodson Bay Hotel for the lovely meal provided on the day of the funeral. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually please accept this acknowledgment as our expression of our deepest appreciation and gratitude to all who helped in any way.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has been offered for all your intentions.  

BANNISTER - (Ted) (1918-1983) - Remembering you with love and never forgetting how you loved us. Your sons Garry and Frank

WESTLAND ROW

I got out when the traffic cleared,

At Trinity Gate, I turned to watch Da

go, 

His car moved out, then disappeared, 

Off to the left and down thru

Westland Row.

"I'll meet you at the gate at one"

he said,

I hear him speak though many a year

he's gone, 

I see him scratching thoughtfully his

head,

Repeating a phrase from some 1940s

song. 

Sometimes, when I am passing by the

Gate,

Hoping Da will show up, I still wait..

Then in the traffic of my mind we go, 

Off to the left and down thru

Westland Row.
