Dear Eilis and Liam, I was so sad to read that your mother passed away and at such a very young age. My thoughts and prayers are with you both, your sibblings and your dear families at this difficult time. She is beautiful in her photograph and you both look like your mother as I remember you both so fondly from teaching you at Alex Ferguson School. Lean on each other, family and friends for support and hopefully your own ‘wee ones’ will help you in your grieving and keep your spirits up. You were amazing children, full of energy, kind, joyful, loving and generous in all that you did, and I just know that you are even that more amazing as fine young adults. My sister sang this beautiful Irish blessing when my mom passed away. I share it with you. . . ‘May the road rise up to meet, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, And the rain fall soft upon your fields. ‘Till we meet again, my friend, ‘Till we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.’ All the very best to you and strength next Friday at your mom’s service. I am away for the weekend but you will be in my thoughts. With love and best wishes, Leslie
