Month's Mind

picture of a burning candle

 

Martha O'Toole, 22nd July 2026

Mam, one month has passed, since we said goodbye
Your beautiful smile and gentle presence
Are missed every single day
You are gone from our sight,
But you will live in our hearts forever.
Deeply missed by your loving family.

Of our much loved son, brother, uncle and granduncle Ray.

We think of you Ray as living
In the hearts of those you touched
For nothing loved is ever lost
And you were loved so much
Its lonely here without your Ray
We miss you more each day
For life has never been the same
Since you went away
To your resting place I visit
Place flowers there with care
But no knows the heartache
When I turn and leave you there
My Ray with a heart of gold
Today, tomorrow my whole life through
I will always love and remember you
From your heartbroken Mam, brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces. xxxxx

Two years have passed
since you went away,
We think of you every single day.
Your beautiful smile and precious face,
Are memories time can never erase.
You loved your trains and Winnie the Pooh
and being a big brother meant the world to you.
The love and joy you brought each day,
are memories that never fade away.
We hold you close within our hearts and there you will forever stay.
Loved beyond measure, missed forever,
your Mammy, Daddy and brother Ryan.

Our best boy James, forever ours.

Jean Fox, 2nd Anniversary, 4th August

Your watch still sits beside the bed
Your nightgown on the door
I often smell your perfume
Then remember you're not there.
Together for so many years, you live on in my heart.
Keep watching out and guiding me
So we will never be apart.
Your loving husband Dessie x

Lucky children that we had our mother as a friend,
To talk and laugh and cry with right to the very end.
You were our safe place through the years
Your presence made things right
A loving smile, a gentle word our trusted guiding light.
Your loved and missed everyday Ma.
Karen (Breeda), Lisa (Andy), Kevin (Rachel), Joe (Gerry) xxxxxxxx

Two years ago you closed your eyes
Your heart it came to rest
Before you left you prepped us all
To give the world our best
So each new day we try to be
As kind and strong as you
Working hard to live good lives
And make you proud too.
Sending hugs into the sky, Nanny
Laurajane, Daniel, Craig, Nikki and Kelsie xxxxx

As we think of you today, a little prayer to Jesus say.
Sadly missed by Stella, Brian and family.

Gone are the days we used to share
But in my heart you are always there
The gates of memories will never close
I miss you more than anyone knows
With love and deep regret
We who love you will never forget.

 

Irene O'Grady, 3rd Anniversary, 31st July

At a time of mourning, we often feel that we are distant from those we love. Actually, they are united with us now more than ever before. They are really much closer to us because now they live in the fullness of God. No more do they know the restraints of the human condition. Now they are able to love with a deeper and fuller love, a love that is enriched by God's own love.
NO, death does not separate us from those we love.
It deepens our union with God and with each other.
Michael

 

Birthday Remembrances

Gerard Carey, 22nd July

Another birthday away from home
Birthday remembrance of our much loved son, brother, dad, uncle Ger.
Forever Young
To lose a fine and precious son and brother
Whether man or boy
Deprives the heart of all its warmth
And life of so much joy
But each year on this special day
We celebrate your birth
And treasure every moment
That you were here on earth
We took those days for granted Ger
And never dreamt or thought
That all our lives would change so much
And yours would be so short
But now we must remember Ger
That although the tears may fall
The son and brother we'll miss forever
Brought sunshine to us all.
'Happy Birthday Sweetheart'
Always loved and missed Mam, brothers and sisters. Love you forever. xxxxx

 

Shane Carey, 43rd Birthday, 2nd August

Birthday remembrance of our much loved son, brother, dad, uncle and grand uncle Shane.
Forever Young
Remembering all the happy times Shane
And the feeling of good cheer
When we all celebrated your birthday
The days when you were here
We think of all those special memories
Of the birthdays spent with you
Your smile lives on for ever
And your voice I often hear
So on this special day we will celebrate and cheer of a loving son, dad and brother we all love very much
Happy Birthday Shane, I hope you are partying up there with them all.
Love you forever son, your heartbroken Mam, your daughters Zoe, Keish and Nicole, brothers and sisters. Love you forever xxxxxx
