First Anniversary

In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who died, 27th February 2023.

“Today’s the 1st Anniversary, of the day that we lost you.
And for a time it felt as though, our lives had ended too.
But loss has taught us many things, And now we face each day,
with hope and happy memories, To help us on our way.

And though we’re full of sadness, that you’re no longer here.
Your influence still guides us, and we still feel you near.
What we shared will never die.
It lives within our hearts. Bringing strength and comfort, while we are apart.”

Always remembered by her loving daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, brother Pete and entire family circle.

Mum’s Anniversary Mass in St Mary’s Church, Loughmacrory on Friday 23rd February 2024, at 7.30pm.
