Michael Durkan Memoriam
May 19, 1952 - January 23, 2015
On your 10th Anniversary, we miss you today and every day.
A young man from County Mayo came to San Francisco, seeking a new start.
He met a girl named Mary, and she captured his heart.
Thirty-two years of love and joy, with three kids, back to back.
Hard work, kindness, music, golf - he sure did love the craic.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
We're grateful for the years we had and proud to carry on his name.
- Your loving family
