The O`Driscoll girls and families extend our sympathy to Kris ,Mark, Peter and their families on the loss of a loved Mother and Grandmother.
We are grateful for recent opportunities,over the last 10 years to connect more with Uncle Jack`s family and remember our own Mum as we deepened the Tynan connection. We enjoyed these recent times spent with Lois and shared interesting conversations. Maureen and Paul were privileged to visit her just a week before her death and be inspired by her gratitude for her life and acceptance of death. This is a lovely memory to have, which I have shared with my sisters. Together, we have made a donation to Nurse Maude for their wonderful work.

So sad to hear about Lois, always so pleasant to play golf with. I still have plants in my garden that she donated to the raffle table that reminds me of her.
