Bridget & Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your dear loved one. Patrick. A kind and gentle man who had a smile for everyone. He always took that extra time to stop and have a chat. I remember during his weekly masses where he would stop and greet some of his friends before mass. I always looked forward to him stopping by my seat and asking how I was doing also. Then he would hurry back to his regular seat in church with a grin on his face before Mass began. I will miss him dearly.
A loyal Red Island man, who loved his little community and always looked forward to his frequent visits. His little boat made many trips across to his beloved Red Island. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. R.I.P. Mr. Paddy
This poem is very fitting to describe this sweet gentleman
A Silent Tear
Just close your eyes and you will see,
All the memories that you have of me.
Just sit and relax and you will find,
I’m really still there inside your mind.
Don’t cry for me now I’m gone,
For I am in the land of song.
There is no pain, there is no fear,
So dry away that silent tear.
Don’t think of me in the dark and cold,
For here I am, no longer old.
I’m in that place that’s filled with love,
Known to you all, as ” up above”.
