Sincere condolences are offered to the family and friends of Maria McGuire who passed away recently. Our thoughts are with our friend and neighbour, John Hyland, on his loss. Marie had been in hospital for some time and bore her illness with great fortitude. She will be remembered fondly for her community work and her wonderful smile and will be a great loss to her family, the community, and to all who loved her. May she rest in peace.
