Dearest Pam, JT & Sean:
I have no words of my own, so I share this Irish Funeral Prayer.
Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

Dear Pam,
I am very sorry to hear about Kevin. My prayers are with you and the boys. Kevin was a real good guy. He had a super sense of humor but also a real good heart. I never forgot him for helping me make 3 car trips down to the city with Christmas food donations for the homeless. The weather was horrible but he stepped up and said "come on, I'll help you". That's the Kevin I will always remember. God bless you and the kids.
