This post is being posted on behalf of Betty McIver and Ron McIver, co-coordinators of the Hugh McKeever Headstone Restoration Project. The post below is written by Ron.
After over a year of planning and fund raising, we’re very excited to announce that the memorial bench for Hugh McKeever and Mary Quinn has been installed.
It looks fantastic!
A big thank you to all the donors that made this possible and as well St. Malachy’s church for accommodating our request.
Please visit the memorial bench, sit and reflect and pray for Hugh and Mary and all their descendants. We have so much to be thankful for.
We would also like to thank Patrick and Michelle McIver of Ottawa for providing their time and the use of this website to communicate and share information with everyone throughout this project.
On behalf of Betty and I, we would like to thank you all for your support. It’s been such a blessing to have had the opportunity to work on this project.
Betty McIver and Ron McIver
(Personal note from Patrick and Michelle McIver: Ron and Betty deserve extra special thanks for spearheading this project from conception to installation. It’s a beautiful and wonderful addition to St. Malachy’s cemetery and we can’t wait to see it the next time we’re on the Island. And Ron and Betty are certainly correct: we have so much to be thankful for.)
