  42. Brendan Ryan

    A kind and gentle soul for the many years I remember as a boy on Marian Road. I spent a few days with Jo Mai , Bridgey & Uncle Bob in the bog which made for great memories. I am saddened at the loss of the last Dempsey from the Eastwood line and I offer my sincere condolences to the many friends and acquaintances that will surely miss what can only be described as an angel. My grandmother Cissie Kelly and my mother Kit Ryan will be among the many from old Templemore who will welcome Jo Mai to eternal salvation. May she rest in peace.
