Hello Marie
I have just learnt of the recent passing of Maurice. I send my sympathy and prayers.
Have many happy boyhood memories of visiting your place in Fox Street when a youngster.
For your information, I am well and have been living in Wellington for the past 47 years.

Vince Conaghan vividly remembers the times Fr Maurice stayed the night at their farm when Fr was offering Mass in Mossburn the next day. Many happy times were shared and lovely memories made, especially when helping feed out to the sheep before mass. RIP Fr Maurice
