Fondly remembered.


Living a life that mattered

There will be no more sunrises, no more minutes, hours or days.
What will matter is not what you bought,
But what you built,
Not what you got,
But what you gave.
What will matter is not your competence,
But your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss now you are gone.
Living a life that matters does not happen by...

UNCLE VINCY
REST IN PEACE. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR TRIPS TO IRELAND WHEN I WAS A SMALL BOY. YOU USED TO CALL ME DONEY SHORT FOR DONAL.
DADDY USED TO BE SO EXCITED WHEN YOU WERE COMING. HE SPENT WEEKS PREPARING THE BEDROOM DOWN STAIRS WHERE YOU USED TO STAY.
ME AND MY BROTHERS WOULD SLEEEP UPSTAIRS WHILE YOU VISITED. THERE COULD BE 4 OR 5 IN A BED BUT WE DID NOT MIND.
UNCLE VINCY WAS HOME AND MY FATHER WAS VERY PROUD OF YOU.

+ + + Farewell Uncle Vince + + + +

Fifty years away in the USA
Across Atlantic's raging foam
But by mail and phone
You have always shown
How you missed your folks back home.

That Irish home you loved to roam
Where the river Moy flows seawards
Flocks of grazing sheep
And the wild salmon leap
Hear the lonely call of the seabirds

Your brothers died only you survived
Of all your Cooneal clan.
Called together once more
On that far...

I have many memories of Vince at my grandmas house. We will all miss you.
