Judy, My family and I are so very sorry for your loss! Your Dad was such a nice man! All our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now - if you need anything please don't hesitate to ask! The following Irish Prayer is one that helped us when we lost our Dad. I hope it brings you and your family some of the peace it brought us.
Remembered Joy
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all...
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss...
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.
My life's been full, I've savoured much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief—
Don't shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.
With love, Mary Lou, Liz and Alice Beagan
