Thinking of our beloved Dad, Granda and great-granda on your first anniversary away from home which occurs on the 25th of April 2025.
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.
loved and missed always by your heartbroken son Timmy, Daughter-in-Law Josie, Grandchildren,T.J,Daniel,Breda,Niamh and Maggie and your 7 great grandchildren.
