I rarely met your mother, my aunt, but the times I did I found her to be a principled and forthright woman.

My earliest and lasting memory was when May attended the London march of the Women’s Peace Movement in 1976. She stayed with us in London, and I saw a woman committed and passionate about wanting peace in Northern Ireland.

I met her a few times after that at, sadly, funerals, and remember with fondness her kind words when my father, her brother-in-law, passed away in 1985. Her passing marks the end of an era. She was the last person that linked that generation of the Johnston family to its past.

May her memory be forever blessed.
