In the Seasons of time one has to go back far
Since Phillis drank and danced with her late Husband Billy O Shea in the Bush Bar
Since then many a sunset and many a sundown
And so many changes in old Millstreet Town
She was Phillis Foley before she became Billy O Shea’s wife
And in Millstreet where she raised her children she lived for the most of her life
A woman who in Duhallow by many was well liked and well known
As a beautiful person with a charm of her own
The Reaper of lives of her grief did not spare
The Shea Family given some crosses to bear
In life as we know there is laughter and tears
And Phillis she too had her happier years
Predeceased by her husband Billy in time going back a while
Phillis was a beautiful person with a beautiful smile
As human life goes in time she had lived quite a span
I remember her as a middle aged woman when i was a young man
Sad to hear that from life Phillis has passed away
And Millstreet the poorer without her today
A huge loss to her family and to her friends and though the gift of life from her has gone
In all who knew her good memories of the beautiful person she was will live on.

So sorry for your loss. In the last week I have been researching the O’Shea Family, particularly Elizabeth Ann, daughter of Tinothy and Mary O’Shea 3 Minor Row and later 12 Manor Row. Elizabeth married my Grand uncle Larry and a close friend of Anthony Barrett who I gather lived nearby.
Sorry for your loss, perhaps in time one of the family might contact me.
