You are still firmly in our minds and hearts We cannot bring the old days back,
We have fond memories that we will cherish for- When we were all together,
ever The Family chain is broken now,
The day you went to be with Pop and Tommy But memories live forever,
broke out hearts. You will always be with us in A silent grief that’s in our Hearts,
everything we do. Whenever we think of No Human eye can trace,
Montrea, we will always think of you. For many a broken Heart is hid,
Beneath a smiling face
Always remembered by, Sons Bobby and Pad,
Daughters-in-law Jo and Terri and grandchildren Always remembered and loved by your Husband
Chris and Sean. Martin and your Daughters Clara and Amber.

bewitching and magic which brings to mind that famous appren-
tice the sorcerer’s apprentice, who when asked to fetch water from
