Afterglow

I’d like the memory of me

to be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an afterglow

of smiles when life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo

whispering softly down the ways.

Of happy times and laughing times

and bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve

to dry before the sun.

Of happy memories that I leave

when life is done.

John will always be remembered by his sisters Pauline, Rosaleen, Carmel and Anna, brother Gerard, brothers-in-law Dermot and John, Anna’s partner Michael, Gerard’s partner Linda, his nieces, nephews, aunts Marina and Alice, uncle Michael, extended family and the staff and friends in Hyland View and St. John of God North East Services.
