Some really lovely photos of Frank Heverins (Faldo) memorial and family on Kilkerin Clonberne facebook page. Lovely stone work in his memory just on perimeter of their field. Looks like he dragged a few lads out of retirement as well in a club game in his honour. Quite something to be held in that regard and esteem after you’ve gone.

Ah that’s outstanding. I was up west recently and considered calling to his grave. I googled how far away I was and couldn’t justify to the missus and kids a hour round trip out of our way to visit a weirdo from the internet. I’ll get there some day hopefully.

Thanks for that

“His poor girls” were my foremost thoughts as well. Christ but its Cruel. If the photos are anything to go by the idiom “It takes a village to raise a child” looks to be the case here. Some small comfort.

There would be few parishes in the country that have kept the old Irish ways and customs as well as his own. I saw there was another relatively young pillar of the community who died earlier in the year and they had a fundraising walk from Knock to the village last month for the local hospice that took in well over 60k which is some gathering considering the size of the place. Even the way Faldo kept his garden and reek of turf showed how old values were cherished there.
But no matter how good the neighbours are, it seems awfully unfair the hand them girls have been dealt.
