Woman gets eye appointment 25 years after she died

ON the 25th anniversary of her mother’s death the last thing an 80-year-old Tuam woman expected was to get a letter notifying her mother of a medical exam.

The woman said she was shocked to find a letter containing details of an eye clinic appointment for her dead mother among her Christmas post this week.

“When I opened the letter I was shocked to see that my late mother had received an appointment for her eyesight test for Monday, March 27, 2006,” she said.
