With deepest sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear loved one. During this most difficult time, may your hearts be comforted by Jehovah God's promise at Rev. 21:4 'And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.'

Dear Declan and Eamonn, Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences on the passing of your loving Mum into Paradise where she will be reunited with her darling departed husband and her family. Auntie Sadie will be sadly missed and remembered for her lovely nature, charm, beauty,kindness, her love of fun and humour.

My Deepest Sympathy Declan and Eamon on the death of your dear Mother - My Great Aunt Sadie. I fondly remember her visits to Ireland and the lovely time that I spent with her and your late Dad in Florida. The last time I saw her was in Savannah. She looked as beautiful as ever and we spent the evening laughing and chatting. She never lost her ' je ne sais quoi'. She always reminded me of my Mum - Pauline - her Niece - in terms of her splendid and noted beauty, enchanting personality and Joie de Vivre. Féadfaidh sí an chuid eile i síochána.

Dear Declan & Eamon, I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of my lovely Auntie Sadie. All I can say is, I understand how you must be feeling at this time, having lost my own dear mum & dad within three months of each other, and my rock - my late husband of 41 years - Joseph. Whenever I thought of Auntie Sadie, I always thought too of my grandmother Sarah, whom she was named for. As a child I was always fascinated by her beauty and personality. I used to think that she was a film star. I loved her very much, and I was always so impressed by her great faith in the Lord. I know she is with her sister, my dear mother Chrissie, and my grandparents, and the rest of the Fielding family. May God console you all in your great grief. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. With love, your first cousin Pauline.
