Kay SWEENEY
(née Corcoran)

On behalf of Marese O’Reilly [sister] , Andrew O’Reilly [brother] and myself – I wish to express my sympathy to the family of Kay Sweeney on her passing. We learned of her passing via the RTE programme "Ireland Remembers" just two days ago. Our own mother Mary O'Reilly passed away six months ago on the 6th November 2019.
From Paul O’Reilly [formally of the Abington Newsagent, Dodder Park Drive]:

With deepest sympathy to all the family. We knew Kay for many years in St Joseph's BNS and as a neighbour in Rathfarnham. A lovely lady, we had many chats along the road as she walked up to Rathfarnham Village and the Church.

Damian, Edie, Charles and Stephen

Deepest to sympathy to Ken and all the Sweeney family. We first made Kay's acquaintance years ago when you and our son Declan were in St. Joseph's. She was a really lovely person - gentle, sincere and with a good sense of humour. May she rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to you all.
Find memories of Kay as I grew up on Dodder Park Road.
A kind and generous lady.
May she rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to Eugene, Alex and Kenneth and to the extended Sweeney family. Aunt Kay was truly a remarkable lady and took such great care of Uncle Martin for many years throughout his illness. I will always remember Kay's apple pies, nobody could make them better. The ceremony was a great tribute. Rest in peace.

Alex, my deepest sympathy to you and to all of your family on the death of your mother at this most difficult time. It is sad that family and friends cannot attend the funeral to offer support and sympathy in person but I hope that you are aware of the support that all of you have from a distance. Take care of one another as you get through this time.

So sorry to hear of your mum’s passing. My condolences to your family for your loss.

Eugene, Alex, and Kenneth. May I offer my deepest condolences on the passing of your mother Kay. She was a truly kind and caring person. It was a pleasure to have known and worked with her.

Deepest Sympathy to Eugene, Alex and Kenneth at this sad time. Kay and I were good friends for nearly 70 years and I have many fond and happy memories of our friendship. Kay was a lovely person and possessed so many excellent characteristics. Always a true and loyal friend to me I will miss her very much. Rest in Peace Kay.

What a fitting tribute the service was today and celebration of a life well-lived by a very special person. Listening to Alex's lovely words reminded me of something I once read which very much applies to Kay - 'Those who give the most from life's pockets receives the most from God's pockets, if not here and now, then in the hereafter'. Now that Kay is re-united with Martin and all the 'old-guard' from the Cul de Sac, I've a funny feeling that there will be one hell of a sing-song and knees-up in Heaven this coming Christmas! Condolences again.

Would just like to say what a wonderful lady your mother Kay was. My own mother loved chatting to her and spoke so highly of her and in particular of her parish work. May she rest in peace. Thinking of you all
