It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of our friend and colleague,
Petesy Burns. Petesy facilitated our Tai Chi class for 20+ years and in the past year and half helped many individuals through his counselling sessions within the Maureen Sheehan Centre.
He was the calmest most beautiful soul and when people say 'one of life's true gentlemen', he really was and more.
Even through the pandemic he continued the Tai Chi via videos in the most beautiful of settings in his beloved Newcastle.
Words just don't seem enough to express how much we appreciated you and will miss you 💔
We offer our heartfelt condolences to Anthea, Petesy's children and their entire families ❤️ x
