7 Years Ago

Wow! As the man said when his wife thew the clock at him - 'time flies'! Just look at these amazing photos from 2011 - both Granny and Grandad were both still with us; Daniel is just a little lad and everyone else is having a great time with the hens. It must have been Easter, the cherry blossom flowers are on the trees - but not this year. It's been soooooooo cold! Enjoy!

On this lovely summer's day, we remember with love and affection Donal Mulryan, grandpa to Aoife, Tadhg, Ciara, Isaac and Daniel who died on 19th April 2012, a few days short of his 80th birthday. He was a wonderful grandparent to all of his grandchildren, and these photos show how much they loved him. 

Tadhg, Isaac, Daniel, Grandpa Donal, Granny Nora, Aoife & Ciara all squashed on to the couch at Castleknock

Grandpa Donal & Granny Nora

When Grandpa Donal died, Dad made a garden in Conna in his memory, with a bench under a cherry tree and lovely flowers. Granny Nora cut the ribbon and Ciara played her saxophone and we always think of him when we are in his garden.

The Irish Cancer Society had an appeal to which we made a contribution to in memory of Grandpa Donal. Daniel put his name and his brothers' ages on the back of the daffodil for Daffodil Day from his three grandsons, Tadhg 14, Isaac 9 and Daniel 6.
 

To Grandpa Donal, love Isaac 9 + Tadhg 14 + Daniel 6 xxx
