<p>Our deepest sympathy</p> Dear Catriona and family, John and I were shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Paddy's untimely and very sad death. Please accept our condolences. Paddy and all of you are in our prayers. Paddy was unique as a student and in his great abilities when he joined the diplomatic service. I have happy memories of him in DramSoc in UCG and later, when we all lived in Boston in the 1960s. We have both had our tragedies since those days but there have been happy times too. I know how much you must be grieving at his loss just now but try to think of the good times. I know from sad experience that it can help. Marie (Murray) and John Greally (Marie: 087-685-6472)
