Dear Stella and family: Grateful thanks for all the years of dancing to Brendan and the Royal Showband. Many an autograph I collected after exhausting hours of music and dance. Later in life Stanley Bowyer was my teacher of liturgical Song . The light of heaven to Brendan's soul. He now has 'Ran all the way home" RIP

Dear Stella and family So sorry we were unable to attend the mass for Brendan, as we had planned to do. Brendan was such a kind and gentle person with enormous talent. It's a privilege to know you both. He was so proud of his family. I first met Brendan and yourself on your honeymoon in Palma all those years ago and I think I owe you an apology Stella for gatecrashing your special time together. You were both so gracious. I will never forget this wonderful humble man. May he rest in peace. God bless you and your family Damien and Dana

It was a beautiful and fitting send off for Brendan in Waterford Cathedral yesterday. I remember him fondly as he was a cousin and friend of my late husband Tommy Hennessy and grew up together in South Parade Waterford. Rest in eternal peace Brendan
