- Once about 40 years ago in Kerry between Killarney and Milltown a woman died. She was the wife of a man named Meara. She died one sunny evening in late summer.
She had a nice family. They lived mostly by dealing (in fairs).
Some of them had gone to America where they did very well.
But on that evening immediately (or at least shortly) after then death a cable arrived from America from a son. It read. "How is Mother. I saw her here."
I can vouch personally for the above.
