null O'Connor Memoriam
(10th Anniversary)
Brendan
In loving memory of a dear father and grandfather
who died 21st February 2016.
When great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always irregularly.
Spaces fill with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be better.
For they existed.
Loved and remembered everyday
by your family Aisling, John, Orla, Eddie, Raquel,
John Paul and grandchildren Ronan, Oran,
Caolan, Ella, Pepe, Liam and Cara.
