A Tribute to Thomas Casey
Dear Friends,
We have received some sad news from Ireland.
Our dear friend, Thomas Casey, passed away
on December 31th. He was such a lovely man
and a
genuine nice person, as
are his wife and family. He helped us out so many times on our first two
of trips to Mohill. The first time we met him,
he
poured Terry and me a free pint of Guinness
just because I was a descendent of a Casey. He made arrangements for us to
rent the Francis Heslin cottage in Drumgrania
for the summer of 1998, and he drove
us when we needed to go to town or to Carrick. I thought of him as an uncle.
During the last two trips we made to Ireland, we were unable to visit him
because he was ill, but he had recovered and
was back to his old self. The news of
his passing was very unexpected. We have extended
our deepest sympathy to his wife,
Maura, and the rest of his family. God speed, Thomas, you will be sadly missed.
I
hope you have all had a wonderful holiday! Now
that the holidays have passed, things are pretty
much back to normal at LittleShamrocks.com. We
had so many
questions and comments in December and thousands of people were searching
through our holiday recipes.
Speaking
of recipes, I will be searching through my cookbooks
during January to find some new recipes for Valentine's
Day. We have added several more
affiliates to our store and there are many more choices for chocolates
and gift baskets
for your loved ones.
In
case you missed last months newsletter, we now
have a 'Questions
and Comments' page where you
might find the answer to your question. I will
post any new
questions if the answer is not already there. We would also love to
hear
about your favorite
Irish story or about your special trip to the emerald isle. Please
don't forget to tell your friends about the free
candy e-cookbook that they
will receive
for signing up for our newsletter.
So,
I will look forward to writing the next newsletter
including some new recipes.
Until
next time ... Ath Bhliain Faoi Mhaise! (Happy
New
Year!)
Slainte,
Tyna
