You were the best mother. You were the true example. You walked the walk. Up until the day you closed your eyes and said goodbye to this world you never once stopped praising God or loving us. We miss you always and wish you were still with us. Every day you're in our prayers, our heart and our minds.
Loved and remembered every day. Her loving family Tom, Marie, Sandra Martin, Sharon And Families

We never ask for miracles But today just one would do To see our front door open And our dearest Mum walk through
Blackrock/ Mahon Community News Remembrance Night in Mahon Wot! Project in Mahon recently held a night of remembrance in Mahon Community Centre. This was an event that united our community in a ceremony of Light and Remembrance for all those whom we have lost. Donations received on the night were divided between Console, Share a Dream and the Irish Cancer Society.As a community we walked from the community centre to the Blackrock walk and released balloons with messages to our loved ones attached in unison. Feedback from the community of the night was that it felt special and symbolic.
Pyjama Day for Crumlin The students and staff of Youthreach Mahon held a pyjama day recently to raise much needed funds for Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin, Dublin. The day took on a Christmas theme as many of the students dressed in seasonal ‘onesies’.
There was Santa pyjamas and elf pyjamas alongside the traditional pyjamas. The staff sported wigs and lost all authority for the day. Classes were held but there wasn’t much work going on. How can you take a teacher seriously when he is wearing his ‘hospital’ pyjamas? The centre coordinator Ms Maura White said that it ‘brought a really good atmosphere to the house’ and is very pleased with the student council that brought the idea to life. ‘We should be very proud of the young people as they have shown concern for others and generosity at this special time of year.’ The students all contributed either cash or a soft toy. All cash goes to Crumlin and the toys were given to the local Vincent de Paul toy collection. Youthreach offers second chance education for young people in the 16 – 20 age group. Places are available all year round and applications or enquiries are always welcome. For information phone Maura White on 4614599 or 086-0479087.
