My better half (and you better believe it ) has suffered the sad loss of the very last sibling of her mother's side,the Heffernans,with the death of her aunt Alice Loughlin of Frome,Summerset,England in her 95th year.She did not suffer for long,thank God.
I understand that she emigrated over 70 years ago from Tipperary to Frome.She outlived her husband by many years and is survived by a number of children and grandchildren ,about more of which anon.
She graced Dunderry when she was able to travel a number of years ago and stayed with us for a short visit.
For many years now my better half has sent her weekly a copy of the Tipperary Star,which she avidly looked forward to.Bernie Flanagan very kindly orders it weekly for us to transmit over, a tradition we will keep up for my wife#s sister Dolores,who also emigrated from Tipp to FRome and who like myself is burning a drop of diesel.
Herself is heading over for the funeral.
We mourn her death as no matter what age you are there is no convenient time time to die.
Ar Dheis De go raibh a hAnam Dilis.
