Memories of Thomas A. and Margaret

Thomas Aquinas Brown: b 9/20/1917 dec 8/14/1994 Margaret Theresa McGee Brown b 12/29/1917 dec 1/3/2004 Happy Mother's Day Mom I love you and miss you. How I wish I could hold you tight today. Always in my thoughts and prayers To my Mother: Remember when the lilies in the garden bloomed? and summer was a lifetime no thought of winter yet; did you know as you gazed at them that the flowers would appear again in the ones you loved so dear? To my Father: We grew away but you didn't we compiled our fears in shadows of what would never be, but yet; to come home to. lurking as a gentle ghost you are there behind the darkness of the familiar You built a home An Irish Funeral Prayer Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Everything remains as it was. The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no sorrow in your tone. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again. Source: derived from a sermon written by Henry Scott Holland and delivered in St. Paul's (London) on 15 May 1910, at which time the body of King Edward VII was lying in state at Westminster. Although not originally derived from Irish writings, versions of this sermon have been used at many Irish and Catholic funerals over the years. It's been 13 yrs since you've left your mortal world,Dad. I close my eyes and see your beautiful smile,smell your aftershave and hear your laughter. I love you forever.
