It fills me with great sorrow to hear of the passing of my dear uncle James (Seamus), although I did not get to see him for quite a few years I still have fond memories of him, his beloved wife Sheila and my cousin Tommy, may they all be in a better place, R.I.P.
To Shanna, James and your families, may God give you strength to get through this harrowing time as I know your grandfather/great grandfather was very dear to you all.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh an anam.
