Mum's are special. After the True Story of Kevin Byrne, Matt is back with Gwen Byrne's amazing life. She was the eldest of 11, Nanna the eldest of 12: Catholic families! Mum had five kids, cooked on a wood stove, was a dress maker, scone baker, Vinnie's volunteer & mad Port fan. Gwen loved her community and her family & I still miss her.
