A Sad Farewell.....

Posted on 30 Jul, 2009 26 comments

I didnt know if i was going to be able to write this blog….I made several awkward attempts…Today was the funeral of my sister-in-law, Anne, she was 70 years of age and had been married to my eldest brother Tony for 48 years… Anne was diagnosed with lung cancer 5 weeks ago…..They have 7 sons and 1 daughter and Anne has 2 brothers…..After the internment at our local church, the family made their way back to Anne and Tony’s home for refreshments..about an hour later one of the boys came running in, he was in a bit of a state and told us Seamus, Annes older brother had collapsed outside on the driveway….We ran outside to him and someone phoned for an ambulance…but Seamus was dead…such a shock to all of us, Eugene is Anne and Seamus’s younger brother and he is completely devastated at the loss of his sister and brother almost on the same day….I just wanted to share this day with all the kind people i have come to know on this site and please forgive me for off-loading my sorrow on you all…..thank you for listening xxxx
