John (Jackie) McGRAIL
Their Light Shines On
Our Loved ones leave behind a light that will never din or fade
It’s kept bright by the loves we feel and the memories we’ve made
It can warm us like a candle’s glow and help bring comfort too
And no matter where you go you’ll find it’s always close to you.
The family of the late Jackie McGrail will observe the first anniversary of his passing with Mass celebrated in Holy Trinity Church, Cookstown July 25th at 10am.
