Someone in the family visited Ireland. If I knew who, I would give them credit for this picture which was included in the massive number of photos in my mother’s estate.

The photo is inscribed on the back with the message:

grandfather Michael Walsh buried with his first wife – His name is near the bottom of the tombstone

Text shone on gravestone pictured above:
