Michele, my sincerest condolences on the passing of your beloved mother Ethna. We felt we knew her through her beautiful illustrations every week. May she rest in eternal peace with your father Michael. Thinking of you and your extended family at this very difficult time. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolences to the Viney and Mc Manus families on the passing of Eithne and last year Michael.
Eithne and Michael certainly did the state and society some service. Pioneers of protecting this Earth with vision and integrity. I remember well when they moved West. They were such great writers that they painted pictures with their words in the weekly column. Above all they taught us how to respect our environment ,to love "All Creatures great and small"

Our deepest sympathy to Ethna's family on her sad passing. Over the years I did have a lot of correspondence with Ethna and Michael and I still have those cards and letters and all were written by Ethna. May They Both Rest in Perpetual Peace and I have no doubt that they will be well rewarded for the way they respected nature and by their example encouraged so many people to respect the Earth and the world that we live in.

So sad Michele. What a warm and talented woman she was! We treasure our many wonderful memories of her. Maura and Ted

Sincere sympathies on your loss, Michele, and so soon after the death of Michael. Ethna was a remarkable woman- so bright and fearless, curious and resilient. We were fortunate to get to know her and Michael when we first went to Killadoon on holidays in 1990. We valued their friendship over many years, and also our professional relationship when Westward films made some beautiful TV series for RTÉ. She and Michael made an extraordinary life for themselves, and they lived it to the full, to the end. RIP Ethna.
