Monaghan Michael was always accorded a royal welcome there.    She never forgot Millstreet and kept in touch with the Healy and Cotter Families and others in Millstreet over the years and loved to revisit.   Margaret is buried in Scotstown, Co. Monaghan – where she and John raised their splendid Family.   Ar dheis  Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.   ( S.R.)
