Bill Mulvey Home From The Hospital

Bill Mulvey, husband of Pat, and brother of Robert Sr. and James, suffered a heart attack just before Easter. After playing golf on Thursday he suffered a sharp pain in the back. Over the next several days and various medical examinations he was transportated from his doctors office to the hospital. He had a double bypass. Bill is now at home recuperating. Although still weak he has been up and about for short periods of time. Pat said that he is a little bit grumpy so he must truly be on the mend. Bill is the son of John Mulvey and Mae Jacoby. Grandson of Frank Mulvey & Jane Farrell. Please keep Bill and Pat in your prayers. They will be at the family reunion and plan on playing in the scramble golf tournament.

Excerpt of Email from Orla. Dear Joe & Marianne. I am writing regarding the upcoming reunion. Thank you very much for the invite but unfortunately none of the Farrells will be able to attend. Mam is awaiting an operation on her back and is due to be called in the next few months. We are sorry we are unable to attend. I have looked at your blog and have another photo that you might be interested in. It is of the original homestead of the Farrells, Kiltoghert, CO. Leitrim. Myself and Aiden now live next door to the original homestead with our baby son Tola. I have seen the photo on your blog (black & white) of my Great Grandfather John and my Great Aunt Bridie and Tess and my Great Uncle Thomas, John & Willie. This is the house where they all grew up along with their other brothers and sisters Mary, Jane, Ann (who passed away at 19) and James (my grandfather). Kind Regards, Orla Farrell Beirne
