  5. You were always such good fun Aunty Mary, time spent with you meant lots of laughter. Many fond memories were made, especially in Hyland Street and camping at Surfside. You always made great banana on toast, however we’d never get a full piece as the corners were always missing…they were your favourite part! Love to Stephen & Kim, Bernard & Gracie, Martian, Helen & John and families. You will miss your Mum 🩵 Bert, Jerem, Niamh & Paddy xx
