it is with great sadness that I post to let you all know that my husband of 49 years has passed away. Martin died on the 2nd August surrounded by his family. He was very peaceful.
In traditional Irish fashion the Wake and Funeral were large affairs celebrating Martins life.
I would like to thank everyone for all the information and help along the way.
Best wishes and good health to you all.
Nancy.
Nancy, I am so very sorry. I hope you can find solace in the long time you had to love each other and the happy memories you have. Take care of yourself.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Nancy ,
It is with sincere sadness I send my condolences to you and your family on the passing of your precious Martin . I am originally from Northern Ireland and have been in North America ( Canada & the USA ) for 60 + years . I fully under an IRISH WAKE .
Martin would have appreciated the massive turnout respecting him as a good person and I'm sure. A wonderful family man after 49 years of marriage , your best friend and soul mate .
God Bless . & Martin R.I.P.
Nancy, may your husband Martin's memory be for a blessing and a comfort. On my father's side I have also roots in Ireland. Wherever we are from, there's always a ripple of connection.
Nancy, my heartfelt Prayers go out to you and your family at this time.
RIP warrior. God bless you all.
My sincerest condolences 💐 Nobody should leave so early. Hope that your memories will stay forever.

Dear Nancy, I am really sorry for your loss.
49 years is more than a lifetime and I am sure youve had it all there.
I am half Irish on my father's side, Dolans from Limerick, and the last wake of the last of my father's uncle was something to remember and his soul was alive with us. Maybe too much because we run out of whisky by midnight and had to go out to get some.
The Irish tradition is one of love and joy and that is how we want to keep them in our hearts when they move on to the next life.
May God bless you with with loud and vivid memories of your loved one, and may the Good Lord take him in his grace.
Dear Nancy -so sorry to hear year sad news - my sincere condolences to you and your family - may Martin rest peacefully
