Uncle David was such an amazing man, full of life, and will be greatly missed. I am happy to say that the Uncle David we all knew and loved is in Heaven right now and we can be sure he is making all the other angels laugh. Take strength in each other and share stories of the wonderful times you all had together as a family.
He will always be in our hearts.

It is so touching to read such wonderful words about my Uncle David, thank you to all who send your heartfelt condolences.
My heart is with Uncle David in Heaven and those whom he leaves here on Earth: Auntie Maria, all of my cousins and their families, my aunts and uncles and the many friends that Uncle David knew and loved.
It is a difficult time for us who grieve, but in our sorrow we need to be reminded that Uncle David has been returned to the Lord, and to Uncle David's own Mother and Father. He is safe, loved, not hurting and he will remember each of us with love as we remember him. Much love to you, Uncle David. Love always, Sandy, Ryan and Cam

May Saint Patrick watch over Dave and his loving family that he left behind.
The Lords Prayer in Irish Gaelic
Ár n-Athair atá ar neamh, Go naofar d'ainim, Go dtagfadh do ríocht, Go ndéantar do thoil ar an talamh mar a dhéantar ar neamh. Ár n-arán laethúil tabhair dúinn inniu, agus maith dúinn ár bhfiacha mar a mhaithimidne dár bhféichiúna féin Ach ná lig sinn i gcathú, ach saor sinn ó olc, Amen.

God looked around his garden,
And found an empty space.
He looked upon the Earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arm around you
And lifted you to rest,
His garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
It breaks our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
Your smile is gone forever,
And your hand we'll never touch,
But, we'll cherish all the memories
Of the one who was loved so much!
To the Flanagans,
It was an honor, privilege, and blessing to have known Dave and to call him a friend.
Wishing you God's Peace at this most sorrowful time.
Love,
Brenda, Kevin & Emily
