Marie Clerkin

21st Anniversary, 11th May
Will those who think of Marie today,
a little prayer to Jesus say.
Lovingly remembered by
Gerard and extended family

Our Lady of Lourdes pray for us,
St. Bernadette pray for us.

40th Anniversary
Letter to my Father,
Sad though I am, lost in a wilderness of anger, hurt, loss and pain for 40 years, the time has come to finally let you go.
Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me, my Helper.
Stayed on this earth you would have, for my sake, and others, I know, but you were saved and went to be with the Saints and Angels.

Sent from above to spend too short a time on this earth, you were a shepherd to those who needed support.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Matthew 5:9 BSB

Where there is love, there's quiet peace,
A tranquil place where turmoils cease,
Love changes darkness into Light,
And makes the heart take wingless flight,
Oh blest are they who walk in love,
They also walk with God above.

Written on your resting place are those words.

Well remembered, never forgotten. Loved by all.
Lorcan M Duke M.P.S.I.
