NELSON - John (Rathfarnham and Ballyconnell, Co Carlow)

On the first anniversary of John's passing John's wife Gretta, their children John, June, Gary and Eoghan would like to thank everyone who attended John's reposing and funeral last July. The many letters and cards of support were gratefully received unfortunately too many to acknowledge individually. Mass has been offered for your intentions.

"Ah the memories that find me now my hair is turning grey.

Drifting in like painted butterflies, from paddocks far away"
