Both of us no longer work with Concern but we have stayed in touch.
Paul contacted me last month to tell me his mother had died. She had been in a nursing home in Cork since 2017.
Patricia O Mahony died on January 19.
She was the noble age of 91 when the cruel hand of Covid took her life.
Two weeks ago I saw Patricia s photograph in The Irish Times . Every Saturday the newspaper dedicates a page to a selected number of people who have died from Covid.
Naturally I was attracted to the page when I saw the piece on Mrs O Mahony.

Consortium claims financial gift was made to secure Beattie signing but Cork City deny any involvement
The SSE Airtricity League First Division club say it had no involvement in the donation, however.
In a statement released this morning, ex-board member and City supporter Damien Sreenan revealed he initially began an online fundraising campaign to assist in the deal as he was aware of the club’s financial constraints.
A group including former City general manager Paul Wycherley then got involved in the initiative, which is believed to have helped Beattie gain part-time employment outside football.
‘The club was hoping to sign Steven Beattie, and in discussions with Steven, I became aware that he was excited about the prospect,” Sreenan said.
