Hi Ed, Thanks for that and wishing you all the best for 2007. Yes, I have to agree with what you say and especially in my own case, being the eldest of 5. Kind regards, Noreen ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Harper To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, December 31, 2006 1:03 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: New Year greetings Hi Noreen, Happy New Year. My mother died in 2000 and it certainly is a miserable experience. In a strange kind of way you suddenly get a lot older, or that's the way I felt. There is no one between you and the end and you have become the older generation. Good Luck for the new year. All The Best Ed -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of noreenmeagher Sent: 30 December 2006 22:43 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] New Year greetings Wishing everyone all the best for 2007. Christmas this year, was a sad one for me as my Mum died on November 15th R.I.P. I also missed the Galway open day as that was the weekend of her funeral. By the sounds of things it will be another busy year for Vics so the best of luck to all. Kind regards, Noreen M.
