Our Sincere Sympathy to J.J. John, Margaret, Paul, Aileen and all the Curran and Hogan Families at this very sad time. Margaret - Thinking of you dearly and the wonderful memories of being in Parnell St. I haven't met Alice for a while and was wondering how she was. It was a special gift everytime we met, Alice was so friendly, kind and a real inspiration of her joy for life. Always smiling, always so friendly. I only heard of her passing today, as I was away.
May her beautiful talented Spirit be Playing Golf, Tennis, Squash, and Singing in the Heavenly Choir. RIP
Dear John, JJ,Margaret, Paul,Aileen I was so sad to hear of the passing of your mum. Such a lovely lady, she always welcomed me into your house and also into the musical society and for a short stint in the cathedral choir before I transferred to Folk Group as I’m pretty sure Aileen did too. Paul I remember calling for you at yours many times and your mum trying to glean info out of me about our mischief plans for the day.
Margaret I remember your Rose of Tralee performance with your mum. Such a lovely experience to remember now.
My sincere condolences to all of you at this sad time.
I haven’t lived in Thurles for over 30 years. I remember Alice from the Musicals. My condolences on the loss of such an elegant and beautiful woman, who cannot be forgotten once you’ve met her.
Deepest sympathy to J.J., John, Margaret, Paul, and Aileen on the passing of your wonderful mum. Alice was a beautiful, talented and unbelievably kind woman, who made friends easily and spoke with everyone. She will be missed by many but especially her extended family. May she rest in peace.
My sincere condolences to Alice’s family. My memories of Alice are from my years with Thurles Musical Society. She was always warm and welcoming to us younger folk … a lady!! May she rest in peace .
So sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Alice. Our heartfelt sympathies to J.J., John, Margaret, Paul, Aileen and the extended Curran and Hogan families at this sad time. Have great memories of Alice from Squash, Tennis, Golf and Bridge.
We enjoyed her zest for life, her great sense of fun and most of all her loyal frienship. Rest in peace Alice.
My immediate memory of Alice was the fun we had backstage in the musicals. She had a great sense of humour, I just remember her as always laughing. We played mixed doubles in the tennis too, more laughing! What a varied and full life and an indomitable spirit.
Sincere sympathies on the death of Alice . She was a beautiful talented lady who made a huge contribution to our lives through the musical society and the Cathedral Choir. May she sing O Holy Night in heaven. Síocháin síoraí.
