Philomena O' Rourke - A beautiful woman - in her appearance, in her character and in her personality.
I met her for the first time when I was about 8yrs old and her & Tom came to our house to ask my father (Tom Greally) to be the Father of the Bride at their upcoming wedding. And from there on there was a very close bond between her and all our family, especially my mother and my late brother Father Pat. I would love to have been able to attend her funeral and meet up with all the Brennans but mobility issues keep me close to home at present. There is only myself & my 90yr old brother,Tom, of the Grealy family left.
We send you all our deepest sympathies, and our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time

Dear Phil I will treasure our times of love and laughter. Our walks, poetry, singing your wonderful love of life. Our trips to Woodend, and the great times we had in the summer with your family, cricket on the lawn. Oh Phil you leave a big hole in my heart. Bless the road that carries you. Shealagh and family
