Thank You

To the wonderful townspeople of Millstreet: On November 9th we traveled from our USA tour to Millstreet, to visit the town our grandparents and uncles who were born and raised there; Margaret Kelliher and Bartholomew O`Riordan, Uncles Darb and Jack. We would like to personally thank Mairead of Killarney Road and Kathleen of Rathmore for their assistance and friendliness. Also to Netties for helping us with telephone numbers for traveling back to our tour. Our alloted time was short but the warmth of your townspeople is everlasting. Until we travel to Millstreet again..May God hold you all in the palm of his hands.
Bless you for your kindness … Judy Scarpellino and Donna Paul <email>
