James Mallarky Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Sep. 21 to Sep. 22, 2007.
MALLARKY _ James (Jim) Buchanan August 11, 1942 - September 19, 2007 It is with great sadness in our hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our amazing father and partner Jim Mallarky on Wednesday, September 19, 2007. Jim was born in Glasgow, Scotland on August 11, 1942 to Mae and James. He began his travels in life to Florida, the Channel Islands, and then came to Canada in 1966. Jim was employed in Real Estate for thirty-three years. He was past President of the Alberta and Calgary Rugby Union. Jim loved his church, attending religiously at St. Bonaventure Catholic Church, always feeling that prayer started him off to a good day. He will be sorely missed by all. Jim leaves behind his loving family, son Mark (Heather) Mallarky; daughter Suzanne (Steve) Buffel; soon-to-be first grandson; Doreen Mallarky; and the love of his life Annette Nocher and her daughters, Danelle Cini and Chantelle Cini. He is also survived by his mother Mae of Glasgow; brother Deryk (Susan) Mallarky of Glasgow; sister Moira (Todd) Hughes of Ontario; and many nieces and nephews in Scotland and Canada. He was predeceased by his father James. Rest in peace. Jim, we love you.

Hi Daddy,

I miss you so much, words cannot describe how I am feeling. All I want to do is phone you up and tell you that I love you - but I can't. You will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. I will always remember you for how generous you were, your never-ending smile and your jolly laugh.

It breaks my heart knowing that you will never get to hold your first grandchild and he will never get to meet his "Papa". I promise I will tell him all about you and he will grow up knowing that his Papa was a wonderful man. I know that you will always be looking down on us and I know I will find comfort knowing that. I hope you will find peace in knowing that I will be okay, Steve will take good care of me, you don't have to worry. The only thing you ever asked of Mark and I was that we would get close, please find peace in knowing that we are growing closer and closer each day.

I will love you always and forever. I look forward to our reunion in the future.

Lots of love and kisses from your one and only daughter,

Suzanne

I can not believe that you are gone. You have impacted my life in so many ways that you will never know. I loved you as my father and that you will always be to me. I will miss your daily phone calls, just to say hello. I can not thank you enough for making Mom, Danelle and I so happy over the past few years. We will love you and miss you with all of our hearts.

All my love until we meet again,

Chantelle

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
