"It was with deep sadness that I learnt of the death of your mother Lady Harris," wrote Noel Corcoran Auctioneers Tipperary.
"I had the pleasure of knowing her for many years and we did business together with Victor Stud. After Victor we used often meet in Tipperary Town on a Friday and we would have a few words in French together. On a few occasions I visited her in her home in Bansha and she was always so welcoming. Rest in peace Lady Harris".
"Sincere condolences to Armor Lorrayne and all the extended Harris family on hearing of sad passing of Anne Marie. We have great memories with her here on the Fourpenny Road and the brilliant holidays we spent with her in Le Muy France many an evening we sat with her watching the sun going down with a little tipple. In her years in Acraboy she was very good to my Mam and a great neighbour to all the Ryan’s of Acraboy. May her gentle soul Rest In Peace," wrote Teresa and Pat Ryan Shiner and Family of Golden, Tipperary.
"Anne Marie, may you rest in peace! You have lived a full and rewarding life and you have left your legacy in Tipperary and in Limerick. Armor/Lorrayne - heartfelt condolences to you both," wrote Diarmuid and Lisa McAuliffe.
