Oh I am so sad to hear about Brian... your dad, your husband. I am sorry for your loss. He was a really good friend of ours and we always were so happy to see him in the mornings... he always had a smile, a funny comment and always always asked me about my kids. He was also a good friend of my dad's who appreciated all the old connections he would talk about from Jamaica Plain. He will be forever in our hearts...

So sorry to hear of Brian's passing. We enjoyed being hockey parents together when our sons were playing. We had a great time in Rutland ,Vermont at a weekend tournament. It was also wonderful to visit at Brett and Christina's wedding. Peace, love and prayers from the Adams family. Donna, Jim and James

Irish prayer for the departed
Death is nothing at all

I have only slipped away to the next room.

I am I and you are you.

Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name.

Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.

Put no difference into your tone.

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed

at the little jokes, 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 effect.

Without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.

It is the same that it ever was.

There is absolute 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 past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before only better, infinitely happier and forever we will all be one together with Christ.
