We also extend our sympathies to the family and friends of Breige McKenna, formerly Knocknasave, who passed away after an illness this week. We offer our condolences especially to her son, David, and her brother Michael and sister Helena Brady, Tullybryan, Monaghan. Go raibh sí ar neamh le Dia. The funeral Mass was in St. Mary’s Donagh, Glaslough, on Wednesday and the Church was packed to overflowing with the huge crowd. The Mass was celebrated by Fr. Stephen Joyce, Chaplain in St. Macartans College, where David is a final year student. He was assisted by Fr. Shane McCaughey, Fr. John Chester and Fr. Hubert Martin. Fr. Joyce paid tribute to the faith and fortitude shown by Breige during her illness and hoped that the fellowship shown by the huge crowd would help the family come to terms with their loss. Breige was interred in Drumbanagher cemetery after the Mass.

Death Notice:
I received the following message from Bobby Wright - daughter of Canon Robert:
Could I let you know of the death in England after a short illness, of my aunt Nancy Ross nee Wright. In her 88th year, Nancy was the daughter of Annie and Robert Wright(Elvie Wrights). Her mother was the postmistress in Emyvale (and her grandmother Ann Amberson before that). A much loved sister of Canon Robert Wright now living in Jordanstown Co.Antrim and the late Betty Wright. Nancy was wife of the late David Ross and mother of Malcolm, Anne, Neil and Andrew.
We offer our deepest sympathy on behalf of the people of the Emyvale and North Monaghan area to the late Nancy’s relatives and friends at this sad time. I personally met with Canon Robert recently and we had a wonderful conversation. Many of the younger generation will be unaware of the service given to the people of this area by the Wright and Amberson families, while they provided the post service in Emyvale. You can hear Joyce Topley give mention to them in his Podcast on this site.

Burial afterwards in the adjoining cemetery. No flowers, please. Donations, if desired, to the Alzheimers Society.
