For Crazy-Joe, my dear friend Patsy, and all of Esthers’ brothers, sisters, and children…
My sincere sympathy to you…may you find comfort in your many memories of Esther and may those memories help heal your broken hearts…my thoughts and prayers are with you.
IRISHMAN’S TIME OF SORROW
May you see God’s light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard, may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
When the shadows fall….
You do not walk alone.
So sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with your family.
