Mary O'Reilly-de Brún

Dear Tomas,

We were shocked and deeply saddened to hear about Mary's passing. We're thinking of you during this incredibly difficult time. Mary had a super positive attitude and was a pleasure to deal with.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you navigate through this loss.

Dear Tomas,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of dear Mary. We have not been in touch for so many years, however you are still deep in my heart. I still treasure highly our beautiful moments together, be it working in NUIG, laughing and playing frisbee during our last department day out in Connemara, or philosophizing over a few glases of red wine in your beautiful house in Clonbur until after midnight. You were such an admirably loving, humorous, witty, reflecting, engaging, interested, interesting couple, Mary and you. Mary will be so dearly missed. I wish I could do more than only send this message to say I am honestly sad and sincerely sorry. I wish you much strength and energy in these diffcult times. A big hug from my heart, Hans

My heartfelt sympathy to you Tomas on the loss of your beloved soul mate Mary. I have such lovely memories of you both when you lived in Trim.
And to Marys sisters and extended family, I am thinking of you all at this sad time.

Sincerest sympathy on the sad passing of Mary, to Tomas, to Mary's sisters and extended family. We have wonderful memories of your time in Trim. Whenever we pass your former home on the Rathnally Road, these happy memories are rekindled. Tomas, your beloved Mary was taken from you far too soon. May God give you the strength to bear your great loss.

Tomas and Mary’s family,
I only heard about Mary’s death today, Monday. Although it is over thirty years since we last met i always remembered her kindness to me and the wonderful mentor and guide she was when she was my Spiritual Director preparing to be a priest. I loved visiting your home in Maynooth for those special meals half way through my retreat. She was so immensely kind and broad minded and fun. I am sure you have many friends and family to support you on the lonely road of grief. I feel privileged to have known both of you. May Mary rest in peace
