SYMPATHY

Cill na Martra lost a true gentleman on November 21 when death claimed Michael Horgan, Drom a Garraí. Born in Seán Baile Sheáin eighty four ago, he was predeceased by his parents, Nora and Jerome and younger brother, Seán. The late Michael was a gifted tradesman, equally at welding, electrical and plumbing skills and kept most farms and houses in the area in power and water for many years. Even though he was a political activist, he always respected everyone’s opinion. He will be especially missed by his relatives, neighbours and close friends, who accompanied him during his final illness. Codladh sámh, Michael.
