One day in a house he showed a Satue of our Lady and then said showing another "Here's a different pattern of Her".
His humble home was adorned with his little wears. He mourned for years after his mother's ___ and often laid a bottle of Whiskey on the grave.
By her death his home got broken and he became cureless and was eventually found dead near Castlering. He was a politican in his run away and had a wonderful admiration for Charles S.
