"Sincere condolences to Mary's children, sisters and brother on her passing . I worked with Mary in Customs and Excise in Waterford back in the day before/during and after her marriage to her beloved Michael. We had a great crack (even through we were working). Often saw her in Waterford since then and we always enjoyed remembering that good time. May her gentle soul Rest in Peace."
