Michael Donnellan

DONNELLAN (Tenth Anniversary) In loving memory of Michael (Buddy), late of St. Brendans Terrace, Ballinasloe, who died on August 29th 2001. Buddy. In a near and silent graveyard where branches wave Sleeps a kind and loving husband in his cold and lonely grave He bade no one a last farewell He raised his hand to none His spirit flew before I knew that he from me had gone. As I look upon his picture sweet memories I recall Of a face so full of sunshine And a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus take this message to my dear husband up above Tell him how I miss him and give him all my love. Sadly missed and forever in my heart From your loving wife Ann. Michael. Just when life was brightening in the prime of your young days Your life on earth was shortened by God's mysterious ways In our home there is a picture of a face more precious than gold To us who loved and lost you, your face will never grow old. So look around your garden Lord, he won't be hard to find He has a heart that's full of love, a face that's always kind Call his name softly Lord and when he looks your way, tell him That we love him Lord and miss him every day. Always loved and remembered by Mum and Dad. Michael. We never knew that morning the sorrow the day would bring When a heart of gold stopped beating And we could not do a thing It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone For part of us went with you the day God called you home. It does not take a special day for us to think of you Each Mass we hear, each prayer we say is offered up for you. Always loved and remembered by (brothers) Eamon and Liam, (sisters) Rita, Marie and Betty. Buddy. Softly in the morning you heard a gentle call You took the hand God offered you and quietly left us all You were always there when we needed you No task too great or small with loving heart and willing hands for us you did it all. Sadly missed and never forgotten by father-in-law Brian and mother-in-law Lilly. Buddy. Your name is often mentioned Our thoughts are with you still You have not been forgotten And by us you never will. Sadly missed by the Caulfield family.
