Catherine von Hildebrand

Sincere condolences to Maria, Ruairí and Brian on the recent death of your beloved mother, and to all her siblings around the world.

Suaimhneas síoraí go raibh aici.

So sorry to hear about the death of your mother, Ruairi. May she rest in peace.

Comhbhrón ó chroí libh ar bhás bhur máthar agus comhbhrón lena muintir is lena cairde go léir.

Casadh Catherine orm nuair a d'fhreastail sí ar bhronnadh Dhuais Bhreandáin Uí Eithir san Ollscoil i nGaillimh. Bhí lá aoibhinn gealgháireach againn a mhaireann beo i mo chuimhne.

Go ndéana Dia grásta ar a hanam dílis agus gura móide teaghlach na Glóire a hanam.

"Paidrín páirteach i nGairdín Pharrthais,
Do mhac na mná a bhí gan locht,
A Aonmhic Mhuire is a Rí na nGrást,
Ná lig ar fán m'anam bocht."

Our sincere sympathy and heartfelt condolences to Brian and all the OhEithir family at this sad parting.

Sincere condolences to Brian and all the OhEithirs and von Hildebrands on the loss of Catherine. I remember her as greatly hospitable and kind to me in both Taney Road and Paris, not to mention a fabulous cook. May she rest in peace.

To Brian and all the extended Ó hÉithir and von Hildebrand families, really sorry to hear of your mother passing. I met Catherine in Prague years ago and found her to be a lovely person. She was so interested in everybody she met. Best wishes to you all at this sad time. Johanna

Catherine was an inspiration, full of great stories and life lessons. Combhrón ó croí, ní bheidh a leithead arís ann

Ruairí, we were all saddened to hear of your Mother's passing. You and all your extended family are in our thoughts at this time.

Comhbhrón ó chroí le Clann Uí Eithir ar fad. Sean-chuimhní ar Chatherine, Breandán agus an gang óg i gCasla agus ar an gCeathrú Rua san am atá caite. Ní maith linn bhur dtrioblóid.

Sending best wishes to you all at a really difficult time.

Ruairí so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother.My sincere condolences to you and yours.

Very sad to hear of Catherine’s passing. She was an indomitable spirit showing amazing resilience in
dealing with the various losses and
setbacks that she encountered in her interesting and diverse life.
Having spent most of her life living in
large cities the places she really loved were small and local like the
Aran Islands and Ballagh!

Catherine was a part of my life since she came to Ireland at around 18 - I remember the excitement of her room being repapered for her arrival. Her death leaves me with a great sense of loss, she was so much part of our lives, as she was of the lives of so many others.
I greatly regret I will not be there to celebrate her funeral with all her friends and family, but tomorrow specially you will all be much in my thoughts. My love to you all.

Comhbhrón ó chroí libh ar bhás bhur máthar, Catherine. Suaimhneas síoraí go raibh aici.

Sincere sympathy Brian on the loss of your mam-may she rest in peace. Thinking of you and your siblings at this sad time.

Sincere condolences to Catherine's family and to all of her many friends. I worked with her for a brief period in Paris during the mid 80s and was also privileged to know her husband Brendán. What a wonderful person she was - a vivacious storyteller and despite her tribulations always wore that beautiful smile. She is the only person, apart from my mother, who ever baked me a sponge cake. That was a lovely evening in her homely Paris apartment. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Sincere condolences to all Catherine’s family and friends on her passing. May she R.I.P

So sorry to hear this news. My deepest condolences to Catherine’s family. I have fond memories of her time as a student at St Patrick’s College Thurles. Catherine was an endlessly fascinating lady, whose life’s experience could fill several books. I enjoyed her company immensely.

Dors bien, chère Catherine.

Dear Catherine, a shooting star. I could listen to you forever. A very brave patient. Rest easy now.

My sincere sympathies to you all on your loss. Anyone who ever met Catherine will remember her as a remarkable person with great strength. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

I was very sad to hear of Catherine's passing. She was a wonderful person and was a big part of my childhood as she lived next door to our family for many years in Taney Road. Mairin was my best friend growing up. We always had such great laughs with her over the years and she was such a good-humoured person notwithstanding all her many trials. My thoughts and prayers are with you Ruairi, Brian and Maria. Sending you a big hug from Rome.
