PERREM Mary Hilary

PERREM Mary Hilary (died September 21, 2011) - On the First Anniversary of her death, we, Mary's children, Eoin, Moninne, Aedamar, Iseult and Justin (Howlett) and her husband Colm O'Doherty, would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our extended families, friends, neighbours and colleagues for the wonderful compassion, love and both emotional and practical support shown to us all during Mary's short illness and since her death. We would especially like to thank all those who attended her removal and funeral service, and those who sent cards, letters and messages to each of us. It is testimony to the impact of Mary's warmth that so many people shared their wonderful memories of her with us. Mary's death has left us, and many others, heartbroken but we draw comfort from her immense love, gentle wisdom and irrepressible humour, which live on in our hearts. We aspire to pass these qualities on to her grandchildren who miss her so much. We would also like to thank the Jesuit community in Milltown and the Benedictine community in Glenstal Abbey for their kindness and prayer."Listen my child,
with the ears of the heart."
(St. Benedict)
