Dear John,

I know that this was a very hard message for you to pass on to us. Thank you for your kindness. This is a great loss to our extended family, especially the Gaeilgeoirí. My heart is heavy for his sons, family and friends. Annraoí was a very special man among men. I will miss him very much.

My prayers go out to all those who loved him, whether near or far away from Ireland. May he rest in peace, and sing with choirs of angels.

Bheir mí óró ó hó
Tá mé brónach is tú i m'dhith

Le meas is mise Áine
