Hi, I watched the service online today, well done to the Mugavin clan for a job well done on Val’s life. It brought back great memories of Val, KP & family. She truly lived a great life.

Wonderful memories of times at Killarney with kids everywhere, great food and lots of laughter. Our parents counted your Mum and Dad as the best of friends, and with Val’s passing another one of that special generation has left us, and we are so lucky to have had them in our lives.
