But travel restrictions kept him in New York. But his sisters Elizabeth and Bernadette participated in the service. All family members, present and absent, remember Kitty Neeson as beloved and devoted. She supported her children enthusiastically, even though Liam's success as an actor surprised her. "He was such a quiet lad, I never knew it would turn out like this," she had stated. She went on, "I love people. I love talking. Not like Liam. He got his quiet ways from his father." That father was Bernard, a school caretaker who passed away in 1998. She, in turn, worked as a school cook. The years did not chip away at Kitty's liveliness as long as she could help it. As recently as 2016, Liam Neeson stated, "She gets annoyed if she can't walk to Mass on Sunday morning, and I just think, 'Mum, you're 90. It's OK! God will forgive you.'"
