I met Desy once when my mum took me to the travellers rest in milltown years ago. They all grew up together and I remember him dancing all night to the country music he ha d them playing! Mum used to tell me stories about them all growing up together and now a lot of them are together again having a ball. God rest his soul and I’m praying for the whole family ♥️♥️
