Mrs Henry, was a wonderful teacher and truly good person. I am so sorry to hear that she has passed away. She was always a shining light even through the worst of Peg! My deepest condolences to her family.

I’m saddened to her of ‘Mrs Henry’s’ death -I greatly admired her as my Form and English teacher in 2nd year- she was an inspiration and had a big heart ! To all her family please accept my sincere sympathy - Janet

Slan abhaile Mrs. Henry! Happy memories from school days x

Sorry to hear of Dervilla's death. Bean uasal ab ea i. She was a great support to her fellow teachers in Newpark and greatly loved by pupils. Always had a supportive ear. Ar dheis lamh De go raibh a hanam dilis. Condolences to all the family.

I am sad to hear of Aunt Dervilla's passing. I have fond memories of visiting with the family as a child and also as a young adult when she introduced me to the hot toddy as a cure to a miserable cold! She was a strong and brilliant woman and dedicated mother. May she rest in peace with those family that have passed before her.
Warmest regards,
Sheila

I am sorry to hear of your sisters passing Aongus. May her gentle soul rest in peace.

Dear Niamh, Oisin,,Aisling, Emer, Lara. Aongus,
It is hard to give you all a hug from across the Atlantic, but please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and hearts. As Dervilla's namesake I have a special sadness today. She was a lovely aunt, funny and optimistic, loving and brilliant. As I read the condolences from others, I am struck by her students who clearly loved her. We have lost a beautiful lady.

I speak for the rest of the American family when I say we share your sadness. Love from Cairbre, Eithne, Una, Sheila, Sean, and myself.

My condolences to Lara,Niamh,Aisling,Emer and Oisin I am sorry to hear of Dervilla's passing. She was such a wonderful woman. I am so grateful to have known and worked for her I always loved listening to her stories every week. I shall have such fond memories of her. Love Fiona

Only last week in the company of some Newparkers the comment was passed that” Mrs Henry always had a soft spot for me, in fact I probably had the wool pulled over her eyes “I hadn’t . No one could .have... she just chose to see the best in me ,had a laugh and always encouraged me to keep going.She was when I look back my ;Newpark mammy and always said life would work out for me Well it has, after a few winding roads and steep climbs I’m here ,happy with my lot .
I am truly sorry and saddened to here of Dervillas passing and send my condolences to all the family.

I have so many memories of Dervilla......She was my Irish teacher at Newpark, trying to get us all interested in reading about Peig! I lived around the corner from the Henrys on Belgrave Terrace, and as a young teenager used to babysit for her kids sometimes. She was quite the woman, and I am very lucky to have known her.

My condolences to her family.

Condolences to Dervilla's family from the Hessions/clann Uí Oisín.

Bean iontach ab ea í. Méala mór dúinn a bás.
