Sympathy

Sincere sympathy to Sid Harvey and family Derrycarew on the death of his mother-in-law Mrs Woods in Co Wicklow. Mrs Woods was a widow for many years and was a great age. Just a coincidence Sid’s daughter-in-law presented him with a new grand-daughter around the same time. Its an old saying “God works in mysterious ways.”
