To Christine, Morag, Fergus and all John's extended family. Sad to hear of the passing of my dear Cousin John Finbarr. I have fond memories of him making his cousins feel welcome on our first grownup visit to Brownstown many years ago. So sorry, unable to travel to Larne for his Funeral Mass and to meet with you, His Loved Ones. Instead I will be with you in Spirit these days as you come to terms that his suffering is over. REST IN PEACE DEAR JOHN, YOUR FOND COUSIN, MARY MURPHY O SHEA, GLENGARRIFF, CO. CORK.
