Catherine Hegarty was named Liverpool Daily Post Merseyside Woman of The Year. She has sent a message to the Blog to thank everyone who supported her.
"Thank you to all my lovely family & friends near & far. I am so overwhelmed. I can not believe I won Merseyside woman of the year. This means so much to me you would not believe. Thank you so very very much from the bottom of my heart. I feel like its happening to someone else & I am looking in on it. I am bursting with pride. I was thinking this morning after being with Murphy girlies summer soirée (Claire McKay Tague garden). Thank God Da came ere married Mary had the gang. The awards afternoon was amazing. Joe & my daughter Clare (my clare was soso proud she got very emotional as did a few others) lots of The Liverpool Signing Choir Staff came to support me. The room erupted when they announced the winner. I could not believe I was hearing my name. Thank you once again for all your votes .you must have been voting in your hundreds . I know family & their friends in America Newzealand , my beloved Liverpool & Mullaghbawn, Scotland, Wales, England & so many other places . How lucky am I that people believe in me. A million THANK U's from my heart. Just a final note to Joe, Clare, Elizabeth & Alexander who I love very much . THANK YOU for putting up with years of me devoting so many hours to the choir. I know they are very proud of me as so many people are. When I received the award & I saw my Clare crying I thought bk to Elizabeth graduating, Clare giving birth ,Alexander getting a place at uni & so many other times I have that sense of overwhelming pride I havel for them. I was blown away coz my children & Joe are feeling that way about me. As mums /partners/wives we don't expect that (well I don't ya just get on with things) Anyhooooo as usual I digress. I will shut up now hahaha (not for long though ha) TANX AGAIN . Next is to get The Liverpool Signing Choir to the opening of the 2012 Olympics all my luv" Catherine xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
