You always made me laugh on all my visits. You always had good relationships with all the foster children.
You will be sadly missed.

To Brendan, Caroline, Trish, Pam, Jenny and all the family: we are so sorry for your loss. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers especially today for auntie Phil’s funeral.
We will always treasure the memories of her trips to Belgooly. She was great fun to be around and always up for a laugh and a joke and she always saw the funny side in every situation.
She was the last of her generation and I’m sure they’re all enjoying the craic up there now, reunited once more.
May she rest in peace.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Love to you all, Batty and Jacqueline.

My favourite memories of Philomena include her amazing good humour after Gandhi the goat jumped on her back in our field. Jenny did little to assist her Mum, she was shrieking with laughter so much. Also Xmas Day 2024 Keith & I felt privileged to be included at the Carmaclan festivities and feast. Keith & Phizzy got on so well. Happy days, thank you Philomena xxxxxx

God rest your beautiful soul, rest easy now.
I’d be killed for saying it, but you were always Daddy’s favourite — and now you’re reunited together again.

The funniest memory I’ll always carry is the day you picked up the hurl, swung at the sliotar, and ended up flat on the ground. We laughed until our sides hurt, and that joy will stay with us forever.

Up the Cats 🐈 and the Rebels — you’ll always be cheered on by your Kilkenny family.
RIP, with love and laughter in your memory. LISA,JOE GER & MARY COLLINS
