Gifted from above with these 4 beautiful treasures, I cannot imagine life without them.
I have loved being a Mum, and raising these wonderful people; I am beyond blessed, favoured by God, my heart is full!

In 1998 my children's father left us and we became
"The Denehy 5".
Creating wonderful memories together, loads of laughter, peace, loyalty, kindness, compassion, respect, gratitude and love were our strengths.

When adversity challenged us, it only served to bring us closer together. Knowing that we had one another, strengthened our bonds.

"FAMILY like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one."
My hope and prayer is that my children will never forget where their roots are.
