Margaret ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Connolly

Thanks Thomas for the music xxxxxxx

Our mum Margaret Connolly died on Mothers Day the 26th of March 2006 aged 62. She was an office clerk in St. Fergus Primary School for 32 years and lived across from the school in Blackstoun Rd. My mum loved her job and the people she worked with. Anne her good friend shared the office with her and they had many great times and laughs together, their favourite sources of conversation were Anne's mum and our dad, these two caused hysteria with their antics, Anne and my mum exchanged stories regarding these two on a daily basis. Thank you Anne for all your love and support. xxx
My mum had 2 brothers Thomas R.I.P. and Joe, my beautiful precious uncle Joe died 8 weeks after her :-( I thank him for all his love and support he gave me after her death and will always cherish that afternoon we spent together, he is a very special man, I love him dearly as did my mum xx. My mum also has 2 sisters Eileen and Cathy. My mum is aunt to Veronica, Frances, Neil, Christine, Steven, Tricia, Charlie, Michelle, Mike, Patrick, Sean, Katie, Lesley, Andy,Stephen, Paul and Karen, great aunt to Darren, Michele, Nicole, Gemma, Natalie, Liam, Sam, Hollie, Blair, Hannah, Sophie, Thomas, Sarah, Liam, great great aunt to Max and Rufus and a very special sister in law to our aunt Freda and aunt Margaret xxx Our mum prayed for them all especially our wee Michele who is an absolute treasure xxx
Theres myself and my elder brother Thomas, my son Kieran and Thomas's son Matthew, she was so proud of her grandsons and talked about them constantly always telling everyone how wonderful and special they were. Our mum died very suddenly, I am sure she knew and protected myself and Kieran that morning for what she was going to face I will never ever forget that morning and the pain we all endured. The hardest thing for me to deal with is I will never know if she shouted on me to help her, I tried when I found her but it was too late. I thank God for Joanie that morning my own special guardian angel.
My mum is the most wonderful mum and friend myself and my brother could have wished for, her love unconditional, she gave us her all and never asked for anything in return. Her support for both of us was amazing she must have despaired at times but she kept on going. My mum had a tremendous faith and prayed for everybody especially all those children in Ferguslie who she held close to her heart. Words can never explain how much she meant to us and the huge void she has left in our lives which can never be replaced. We will always remember her vibrant spirit and her love of life and people xx
I need to also acknowledge her 'other wee family' who affectionally called her maw or Mrs C she loved and cared for them as if they were her own.
Alan, Lucille, Christopher, Sean, Laura, Anthony and wee Megan Docherty.
There were many people close to our mum especially Suzie, Anne, Annmarie, Angie, Caroline, Grace and Maureen who genuinely cared about her and showed concern for her health in the weeks leading up to her death, we thank you all for making a difference in our mums life. Can't forget Lorraine and wee Helen for all the help and support they gave our mum when events needed to be organised in the school, they were always there. xx A special thanks to Fr. Vincent for being there and for his love and support, and for getting the statue of St. John Bosco placed in the church in memory of our mum xx
Finally to all those children in St. Fergus Primary School you were the reason for our mum going to work every day. Amanda and Ashley you brightened up Mrs Connolly's life and made her laugh with your antics, she talked about you all the time, she loved both of you and I know she'll be looking down on you and saying what are you two all about just like she always said. xxx
REMEMBERING MY GRANDPARENT'S JANET CONNOLLY, TOMMY AND MAGGIE HARKINS AND MY UNCLE MATTHEW FARMER XXXXX

Also remembering Mary Clark an inspiration to all who had the honour of being part of her life xxx
Her son James, daughter May and her son-in-law Joe may they all rest in peace xxx


THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR LIGHTING CANDLES AND LEAVING TRIBUTES I KNOW MY MUM'S MEMORY WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE XXX

"Footprints In The Sand"
You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I’m going
You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much I no along the way
Then I heard you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life
Flash across the sky
So many times have I
Been so afraid ooh
And just when I
Have thought I’ve lost my way

You give me strength to carry on
That’s when I heard you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

When I’m weary
Well I no you’ll be there
And I can feel you
When you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is full of sadness and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand



** OUR LIPS CANNOT TELL HOW WE MISS YOU OUR HEARTS CANNOT TELL WHAT TO SAY GOD ALONE KNOWS HOW WE MISS YOU IN A HOME THAT IS LONESOME TODAY AND ALWAYS **

MY DARLING MOTHER..........

HOW MUCH I MISS YOU NO-ONE WILL EVER REALLY KNOW
MY DARLING MOTHER WHY WERE YOU THE ONE WHO HAD TO GO
NOTHING SEEMS RIGHT WITHOUT YOU HERE TO HOLD ME TIGHT
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE IT THOUGH EACH AND EVERY NIGHT

OTHERS SAY I STILL HAVE FAMILY OF MY OWN TO LOOK AFTER NOW
EVEN THOUGH I STILL STRUGGLE THOUGH EACH DAY THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW
I DO NOT LET ANYONE SEE ALL THE TEARS THAT I CRY FOR YOU
I AM FINDING MY LIFE SO HARD LIVING WITHOUT YOU TOO

EACH DAY BRINGS ME TO CLOSER TO CHRISTMAS WITH YOU BY MY SIDE
I TRY SO HARD NOW MY TEARS FLOW I CANNOT HIDE
I LOVE YOU WITH EVERY BEAT OF MY BROKEN HEART
MY DARLING MOTHER WHY ARE WE LIVING TWO WORLDS APART.......

If tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see.
If the sun should rise, and find your eyes,
Are filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
The way you did today.
While thinking of the many things, we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you loved me,
As much as I love you.
And every time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
I hope you’ll understand,
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.

She said my place was ready, in heaven up above,
And that I’d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.

I had so much to live for, so much that I should do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.

I wish I could have said goodbye,
And kissed and seen you smile,
I wish I could have stayed with you even for a little while.

But then I had to realise, that this could never be,
Now emptiness, and memories,
Would take the place of me.

But when I walked through heavens gates,
I felt so much at home,
And then the lord looked down on me, from his golden throne.

He said, “this is for eternity, but I will promise you,
Although your life on earth has passed, here life starts anew”

“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each days the same up here,
There’s no longing for the past”

My loved ones, please don’t grieve for me,
Coz I am truly free,
And I will wait for you to come and share my life with me.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart .............

♥♥♥A Beloved Mother And Very Best friend♥♥♥
Dearest of all people, with a love that knows no end.
A playmate to her Children's Children,
She's both Grandma and a Friend.
Full of Childhood memories at the park and beach,
So fond and true all within our minds reach.
Blessed with beauty and an innocent heart,
She is Fairest of God's most exquisite art.
A Daughter, a Sister, a Wife and a Mom,
The Bride of Christ she has now become.
Her purpose fulfilled, and Her Legacy Left,
Again we will see her, and be no longer bereft.
