Shamie Bolger

4th Anniversary, 16th December
In loving memory of our dear beloved husband, Dad, and Grandad Shamie Bolger whose fourth anniversary occurs 16th December 2025.
Also remembering at this time our beloved daughter/sister and Aunt Georgina Bolger whose 4th Anniversary occurred 30th August 2025.
Separated in life, united in Heaven. Rest in Peace.
When we remember happy times,
The thoughts we hold most dear,
Are the times we shared together,
The days when you were here,
If only we could see you Dad,
For just a little while,
To hold you close and hug you,
And see your great big smile,
But God would never grant this wish,
As he would surely know,
That if we ever had you back,
We would never let you go.
Not a day goes by we don't think of you both. Always in our thoughts and prayers, no one could fill the void you both left, very sadly missed and always remembered by Mam (Philly), Sons James, John, and families.

 

Sean Burke

17th Anniversary
Always in our thoughts
Forever in our hearts
Sadly missed by all the family
Mass on Sunday 21st at 12 o'clock

 

Michael Anthony Conalty

We gave him back to God
Who gave him to us
But you did not lose him in giving
So we did not lose him on his return
Life is eternal and love is immortal
Death is only an horizon
The limit of our sight
Lift us up strong Son of God
That we may see more clearly
Rest in Peace M.A.
Breda

 

Margie Donnelly (nee Murray)

8th Anniversary, 23rd December
Always loved and missed by Ron, grandchildren, extended family and friends.

 

Veron Dobbs

1st Anniversary, 1st January
If I could sit in Heaven,
Even for a day, the pain in my heart
Would temporarily go away.
I'd put my arms around you
And whisper words so true,
That living life without you
Is the hardest thing to do.
No matter how I spend my time,
No matter what I do,
There's no morning, noon or night
That I don't think of you.
Loved and missed every day,
your loving husband Christy.

Anniversary Mass is at 12pm Sunday 4th January, St Patrick's Church, Esker

 

Veron Dobbs

If we could have a lifetime wish,
A dream that could come true,
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For one more day with you.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still,
In our heart you hold a place
That no one else can fill.
Loved and missed every day, your loving daughter Arlene, son in law Phil and grandson Dean.

Dear God thank you so, the year seems to have arrived and gone so quickly. And knowing you have constantly surrounded our father Joe with your loving care, has made it so much easier and given all great comfort.
Dear God, you said
'Peace I bequeath you, my own peace I give you, a peace the world cannot give, this is my gift to you'
Therefore, we place all our trust in you Dear God, and we greatly appreciate, if you would continue to keep our father Joe and all our lovingly departed in your wonderful loving peace and care always. Sending also Joe a loving Christmas remembrance to your loving wife and our mother Maureen R.I.P. your son Tomas R.I.P., your grandson Darragh Michael R.I., your brothers Fr Kevin, and Fr Sean Ryle R.I.P., and your sister Nora R.I.P.
