Mike, you were a great carer and support to Kay all your life. Ar dheis Dé go raibh sí. Vinnie, Oonagh and girls, Leixlip, Co. Kildare, Ireland.

It is with great affection I remember Aunty Kay. She was so good to me when I arrived to the US back in the 80's. She had a wonderful way about her, and so very proud of her Irish roots and heritage. An absolute lady to her fingertips, but could be as firey if you got on the wrong side of her! She didnt however lick that off the grass, us McLaughlins all seem to have that streak, myself included!!!! That said she will be sadly missed by all who knew her, to both Frankie and Mike, remember her fondly, she adored both of you, we heard more stories about " her boys". Thinking of you both at this sad time. With love, Nola xx
