BYRNE - Gail (née Richards) - On the First Anniversary of her passing, Gail’s family would like to acknowledge the kindness and support we received in the past year and throughout her illness. We will forever take comfort from the generous gestures from extended family, friends, and neighbours. Special thanks to Gail’s care team, the staff at St. Francis Hospice, Father Martin Noone and Stafford’s. From those who gathered outside our home and the Church of the Sacred Heart, to the incredible number of cards and letters received, we were truly overwhelmed and grateful. It all reflected how deeply Gail was loved.

‘May the winds of heaven

blow softly and whisper in your ear

How much we love

and miss you

and wish that you were here.’
