Uncle Tom, our deepest sympathy to you for your loss.

Kathy was a wonderful person. We know that she is in heaven now and probably enjoying a cup of tea with Nana.

Cherish your wonderful memories of Kathy and carry them close to your heart.

Allow them to soften the moments whenever you feel the tears start.

During the times when you’re lonely, feeling all hope might be gone,
let your sweet memories surround you and give you the strength to go on.

Death may have taken Kathy, but never the joy that you knew,
so cherish your wonderful memories and feel them embracing you.

Rest in Peace Kathy!

Uncle Tom:

We are thinking of you and want you to know that we love you very much.
We are so grateful that you came into Kathleen's life. You are her other half.
Thank you for giving her so much love and happiness over the years.
Few people can say that they have had that kind of love in their lifetime.

Kathleen:

I will miss our long chats over endless cups of tea. Who will eat my Christmas ham?
I am so thankful to have had you in my life. You and Tom helped me through one of my darkest times.
I am so happy that you got to be here to see Samantha Grace and share so many happy times with us. Our little girl is lucky to have you for one of her aunties.
Going to Castle Island will never be the same without you there.
We know that you are in Heaven with Winnie and Bridie now watching over us all.
I am so glad that we got to have our visit on Saturday. It was so nice to see you laughing and telling us as we were leaving that it had been a good day. I will cherish that day forever.
We love you lots,
Eileen, Eddie & Samantha Grace
XOXO

"An Old Irish Blessing"
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
