William John McNally 1923- 2013
This is a photo of AJ and my Dad. Dad died last week and his funeral is next Tuesday. We are travelling up on Monday. Dad was born in Belfast NI in 1923, he was a well loved husband, (Mum died last year) , and loving father.We shall miss him so much, but Mum's death left him bereft.Mum and Dad emigrated here in the 50's, living for a short time in Australia, too hot for Dad, then settling in NZ for the last 57 years. Love to all, Barbara McNally Simpson. P.S.. He was racing a old nun from his parish to get to 90 first, (he was a funny man), and as my friend Chris said "you can never beat a nun".
I'm so sorry for your loss. I learnt last year that no matter how old you are you are never ready to lose a parent (we haven't yet but it was close). I can tell you have many fond memories with lots of laughs to cherish and carry forward with you. Safe travels and take care. Sx
