To Donna,Billy and Gerard and your families. My love goes out to you all. Judy spoke so lovingly of you. I would pop in and put the kettle on and over a cuppa, she would often talk of her beloved Brian, and the times she’d come with him to our farm. May God be with you during these difficult days. Loving sympathy.

Judy, you came into my life 53 years ago and we have seen each other through a lot, we’ve watched each others children grow up, supported each other in sad and happy times. And through it all we’ve remained best friends until the day you decided it was time for you to go to be with Brian again.
Rest in peace now you are pain free.
Your friend, Kathy and Family
