AN IRISH BLESSING
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again someday
May God hold you in the palm of his hand
And may the memories we have shared live on and on
Rest in peace dear friend.....it has been a pleasure knowing you and you will be missed
