Dear Kyran, Colleen and family, On behalf of your Aunty Eileen, your cousin Kevin and i, we offer our deepest sympathy for the loss your Mum. Though we all spent so little time with her, we still had the connection through stories and reports from members of the family that came over. My Dad and Aunty Anna were particularly fond of each other, especially growing up in Ireland and later sharing a house in Manchester when Anna was nursing. After her move to Canada they remained close,despite the distance. We hope that your pain will ease over time, and you both can go boldly into the future, harnessing everything that she taught you. Love Garry

Dear Kyran, Karen, Teagan, Shane and Colleen, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4) May it be a source of inner strength to know that there's a loving God watching over you, and that, throughout this time of need, God will stay close by your side. Our thoughts of deep and sincere sympathy are with you. Love, Betty Ann & Michael

Dear Colleen, on behalf of your teammates, colleagues and myself please know that our thoughts are with you and your family. May the many fond memories of your mother shine a little brighter for you today and may you carry them with you into tomorrow.

Dear Colleen, Kyran and all of your family, My memories of your mom are of a warm and caring person who had a certain sparkle - a beam of light in her eye as she spoke to and of those she loved. Please know that you are close in mind and heart at this sad time. With love from, Peggy (and Paul,Anne and Elise)

Dearest Colleen Thank you for your notice of your moms passing. Thinking of you in your time of loss and sorrow. May she be with God, and He at your side to comfort you. Wishing you peace and all good memories of only wonderful times with your mom throughout the years. Your friend always Lou

Colleen, Kyran @ Family: Our thoughts are with you at the loss of your mother. Your mother and father were wonderful neighbors and friends to us. Your mother and I shared many conversations and a cup of tea together. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend as it would be very difficult for us because of the recent passing of Steve. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Pat, Mike @ Melissa Collins

Kyran and Colleen, we are very sorry for the loss of your mother. Sending our love and thoughts to you all at this difficult time. Love from Linda and Dave.

It is such a sad time for all of us and so it is because we have lost a great person, a mom, a grandmother, an aunt. But she was more than an aunt to me. She used to seem like my older sister. We go back so many years to living in Ireland. Anna was a rare beauty growing up! She became a nurse and how I would look at those pictures in our beautiful nurses outfit and think how lucky those patients must be to have such a person looking after them in their time of need. Anna would arrive home to Ireland - just to see the family - very often at weekends - she was a home person and loved to be amongst her family for the chats, the laughs, the singsongs. I will never forget those harmonious evenings when all of the Walsh family would be together - a musical extravaganza! Anna was a Moore's Melody fan: "There is not in this wide world a valley so sweet" was one of her favorite. "The Last Rose of Summer" was her signature tune. She visited me when I lived in France, she was here for our wedding, she was here for Patrice's wedding, we had good times, we had sad times, we had musical trips in the car to Jones Beach, etc. - those memories will never fade. Three weeks ago to the day she passed, we were up with her at Riverview. She was very ill but she still managed to maintain her sense of humour. She did her utmost to conceal the pain she obviously had even to coming out with us in the car for a little trip. How happy Mike and myself both feel that at least we had some important time with her. I will miss her - we will miss her - we will always love her and think about her. We are with you on your journey now Anna - you are with Lawrence, Mary, Kate and Tony. Slan and Ar dheis De go raibh a anam (May you rest in peace) Our deepest sympathies to you all. Love Vivienne and Mike My memories of Anna will live on forever.

I am so sorry for your loss.
