Betty, Jim and Elizabeth Ann: I am so sorry for you loss and will truly miss Seamus espcially his facial expressions when he was doing his knocking. The facial expressions that he had when he was knocking and listening to sounds that only he could hear were truly angelic.
"God saw you getting tiredand a cure was not to be.So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."
Seamus was loved and will be missed but will always live in eh hearts of those that love him and in the words that are exchanged when talking about him.
My paryers are for and with you at this time.
Love Steven
