Da - I pray for you by the hour as does your sister Eileen. I and know you will continue to guide and inspire Michael and we will do our very best to honor you and make you proud. This is for you Da:
BEANNACHT AR NA MAIRBH
Suaimhneas síoraí tabhair dó, a Thiarna, agus go lonraí solas suthain air. Tabhair maithiúnas dár ndeartháir agus tabhair ionad sosa faoi shíocháin dó.
Sé do bheatha a Mhuire,
atá lán de ghrásta;
tá an Tiarna leat,
is beannaithe thú idir mná
agus is beannaithe toradh do bhroinne, Íosa.
A Naomh Mhuire, a mhathair Dé,
guigh orainn na peacaigh, anois agus ar uair ár mbáis. Amen.
GLÓIR DON ATHAIR
Glóir don Athair,
agus don Mhac,
agus don Spiorad Naomh.
Mar a bhí ar dtús,
mar atá fós,
agus mar a bheidh go brách,
le saol na saol. Amen.
God Bless with all my love, Tilly.
