Now she wont be and i cant imagine whats its going to be like without her.


There'll be less tea and less cakes, there always is. Aunt Mary rest in peace.

May they now, finally, rest in peace.

I hope they found a way to rest in peace a while ago just knowing their own innocence, and not waiting for the crown to give them the peace that they deserved. It certainly wasn't the crown's peace to mete.

Still I am glad that the study exonerated them. Credit where credit is due.

My young friend John McAteer, who I last saw at the March 2009 Pogues show. Never was quite able to escape being from Charlestown. Just thirty years old. Hope you are at peace now with your parents.

Yes, very sad. "Probie" was a definite top 5 all-time fighter, with some of the Probie-Tony Twist battles among my favorites...
