Week ending 31st July 2011
Hello to everyone in Tourmakeady,
Just an update to let you know how I’ve been getting on. We have been in Vietnam for almost six weeks now. We have spent most our time in a cancer hospital in Can Tho city. The doctors are great and we’re been learning a lot but the conditions for the patients and the facilities are pretty poor. We also spent some time out in a more rural general hospital which was a great experience as well as in an orphanage for disabled children where we heard some very sad stories. The people have been extremely welcoming and we are having some great experiences. As a group we have raised thirteen thousand euro (a lot of which came from the people of Tourmakeady). We have been discussing how this can be best spent here to improve things for the patients (I will let you known when we have made a decision). Hope to be in touch again before too long and will try to send some pictures also.
Thanks again, Rónán (Rice)

Martin was a quiet living, independent man and a great farmer but he gave time to his family and friends. He had a great interest in the GAA, especially the green and red of Mayo. He often visited Croker and would have been pleased with Sunday’s result in Roscommon.

John Kenny P.P. assisted by Fr. Michael Farragher C.C. Castlebar. Readings were given by Barbara Power and Linda Lally, nieces of Martin. Requiem hymns were performed by Mairead Cafferkey, niece and Rochelle Roche and Marise O’Hora, friends. The meaningful reflection was given by Martin’s nephew, Michael Cafferkey.

Joan was everyone’s friend. Her kindness, gentleness and generosity were second to none. She was a wonderful nurse in her younger years in England . She was also a teacher and met many pupils, who paid her great respect.

The last grandchild to arrive Joanne De Burca, came just three weeks prior to Joan’s sudden departure.
On the sidelines Joan loved her roses and flowers and baking was one of her great daily routines. She had great faith and attended the sacraments and visited and prayed for the sick. Knock a few times a year was a must for Joan.
