Patrick (Packie) Donnelly

Patrick (Packie) died peacefully on 15th July 2024 surrounded by his loving family. Sadly missed by wife Margaret, grandchildren Sonny, Connor, Lacey, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, relatives, carers, neighbours and many friends.

A proud Tipperary man.

May his kind and gentle soul rest in eternal peace.

Death is nothing at all – I have only slipped away
into the next room. Whatever we were to each other,
that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes
we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me,
pray for me. Let my name be the household
word that it always was. Let it be spoken without
effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the
same as it ever was; there is absolutely
unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of
your mind because I am out of your sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was
before-only better, infinitely happier and
forever-we will all be one together with Christ.

Funeral to be arranged. Contact Sonny on 07715294037.
