Death of Teresa Brady nee Larkin.

On the Dunderry road towards Robinstown there are a few houses on the right hand side.In one of these live Paddy Cahill ,his wife and their two children.Her maiden name is Delourdes Brady and her motheR was Teresa Brady.Her maiden name in turn  was Teresa Larkin.She was one of a large family reared on the Shellerin Road ,which joins Mulhuddart with Clonsilla.
She was reared there in a time when pheasants were more common there than people and I lived there for a while  too.A time when a bus ran from Mulhuddart to Blanchardstown each Sunday at 9.00 a.m for weekly Mass.
I often got it and I am sure that the Larkins did too.
One of her brothers is Anthony Larkin who played football with me with St.Brigids when he was a juvenile. He and I  often fished for trout in the Tolka as kids and caught our share.
Teresa married John Brady from Dunboyne and they in turn had a large family.I  remember John too.
In recent years Teresa bought a a home Kilmainham Wood and began spending the odd weekend with the Cahills in Dunderryand when staying over would attend Dunderry Mass.
It was here that I  first met her some years ago and we would exchange greetings and reminisce about the time of yore on the Shillerin Road .I  Christened her "Shillerin ",a much more descriptive name than the Blakestown Road..
She was a lovely and friendly woman and droopped dead suddenly.
The Dunderry family ,father,mother and kids are lovely and private people .
I  offer them the full sympathy of the Stephens family.
In these strained times the funeral is confined to immediate family.
Ar Dheis De go raibh a Hanam Dilis.
