I so remember enjoying your visits (you and Bob) to my parents (Michael and Josie Brennan's) home in Birstall, Leicester whenever you were visiting your bother Jack and his wife Sarah in Leicester. Dad always enjoyed a visit from his cousins. It was really wonderful to see you again at Claire's home in Kilkenny on October 2019, your last visit to Ireland. May you Rest in Peace Sarah, and rise in Glory.
Sally I am so sorry I didn't get to see you these past years since I moved away. You were so special and I loved working with you for all those years. I kept in contact with Lynn and always asked about you. Loved you Sally.
How lovely but sad too to share Sarah’s mass today. Sarah and Bob were names often spoken of with fondness in my home when I was a little girl. Happily we had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Sarah on that fun day in Claire and Joe’s house in Kilkenny when she was last home; what a treat. Our sympathy to all who knew Sarah. May she rest in peace.

Hey, Sarah, Patricia shares this with me. She remembers that first ride we had in that shiny turquoise car. Big adventure!
We will miss you, Sarah. We will miss the vibrancy of your smiles. We will miss the cheerfulness with which you greeted every day, We will miss the energy and enthusiasm you put into every project, every job. You saw life as a great adventure with every minute of it to be savored and enjoyed and shared. We will miss your phone calls and the birthday cards you never forgot to send.
We will remember your delight in driving your first brand new car, a shiny turquoise beauty that gave you freedom, the freedom to travel and explore new places in a new country with friends who thoroughly enjoyed the journey with you. We will remember your joy in planning parties and get togethers for all sorts of family events that brought the generations together in celebrations of life’s milestones. Family was important to you. The celebrations were glue that held sometimes far flung members a little more closely together.
We will remember your joy in the cruises you took to places that a young Irish country girl of your generation only dreamed of seeing. We remember the smiles you gave to customers at your jobs that cheered their days and gave them a sense of welcome and belonging. Complaints and grumpiness and negativity were never part of you. Your philosophy was not one of looking back in worry or sorrow or pity or anger. Why look back, you seemed to say? None of us are going in that direction. Much more fun and more important was looking to the great things that were ahead and the next great adventure.
Mostly, we will you. Take care, have fun, and entertain the angels until we meet again. The good Lord is surely holding you in the hollow of His hand.
Kathleen and Patricia
Thank you Aunt Sarah for being such a wonderful example of how we should live! Rest in His arms!
Happy are those who trust in the Lord,
who rely on the Lord.
Love Edward

Wonderful memories always of Sarah and Bob especially when they came to visit us in Ireland .Days of visiting relatives evenings of music and singsongs .plenty of laughter and sharing Memories of old and new Stories .Cards and letters sent over the years always meant so much .So glad that she was able to come to Ireland one last time in 2019. the gathering in our house will always be a highlight in my memory and also in all the family's who come that day Sarah loved it all. No doubt there will be plenty of rejoicing in heaven as there are quite a large number of Brennan's and Ryan's up there.
Sarah you will always be remembered in our hearts and prayers keep that lovely smile and do remember us .May you rest in Peace .
