Thanks Karen mum of our gorgeous Adam for the beautiful pic i'm using xxxx
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, Steven, Paul and Karen, great
aunt to Darren, Michele, Nicole, Gemma, Natalie, Liam, Sam, Hollie, Blair, Hannah and Sophie and
great great aunt to Max and Rufus and a very special sister in law to our 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

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.

~ A Beautiful Butterfly ~
A beautiful butterfly
flew by me today
it circled around me
then went on its way
In a minute or two
It came back again
And fluttered on by me
As I strolled down the lane.
I sat down on a log
To take a short rest
The butterflies wings
brushed past my chest
It's touch was so gentle
Then off it flew
That beautiful butterfly
Reminded me of you.

Tributes For This Weekend
FOR FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST
Grief Is Like A River
My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.
Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again,
I crash on rocks of anger,
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need
Are loving hands to hold me
When waters are to swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.
Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past,
By swimming in Hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me
When I'm gone, release me, let me go;
I have so many things to see and do.
Don't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you love.
You can only guess how much that
You gave me in happiness.
I thank you for your love you each have shown.
But it is time I travel alone.
So grieve a while for me, grieve you must;
Then let your grief be comfort by trust.
It's only for a little while we must part.
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I'll come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
If you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home!"

FOR SUNDAY
Tears
Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love,
Made to release deep emotions,
A special gift sent from above.
When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old,
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.
In moments of anger, frustrations and grief,
When happy thoughts flee like a thief,
Running away with our hopes and our cares,
A tear brings welcome relief.
If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear,
With time a soul is healed,
Restored with the help of a tear.
Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives,
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.
Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving,
The most precious gifts of all.

~~~~~~~ I AM NOT GONE ~~~~~~~~
I am not gone, I am changed.
Have faith and please believe me.
God did not take me away from you,
He split the skies and received me.
Now...
I'm an echo in your laughter,
a reflection in your tears,
an extra thread of strength
to help you overcome your fears.
I'm an added ray of sunshine,
more joy for you to share,
a fragrance of the life you live.
Wherever you are - I am there.

MIDNIGHT SKY.........
WHEN I GAZE UP INTO THE MIDNIGHT SKY
I CANNOT HELP THE TEARS THAT I CRY
I MISS YOU WITH MY HEART AND SOUL
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT MADE ME FEEL WHOLE
I REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES AND HOW THINGS USED TO BE
HOW MUCH YOU DID TO HELP AND ALWAYS LOOKED AFTER ME
WHEN I GAZE UP INTO THE MIDNIGHT SKY
I SEE THE GOLDEN MOON DRIFTING BY
I LOOK AT THE STARS THEY SHINE SO BRIGHT
WHEN I LOOK AT THE MIDNIGHT SKY EACH NIGHT
THE GLOW THAT SHINES FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
I GAZE UP TO THE MIDNIGHT SKY AND REMEMBER YOU WITH LOVE.......

FOR MONDAY
Treasured thoughts of one so dear,
Often bring a silent tear,
Thoughts of scenes long past,
Years roll on but memories last.
FOR TUESDAY
Wonderful memories woven in gold,
This is a picture I tenderly hold,
Deep in my heart, a memory is kept,
To love, to cherish, never to forget.
FOR WEDNESDAY
If we could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true,
We'd ask with all our hearts,
For yesterday and you.
FOR THURSDAY
My heart still aches in sadness,
My silent tears still flow,
For what it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.

Tributes for this weekend
FOR FRIDAY
I MISSED YOU
I woke up this morning
.....and I missed you
I got out of bed
.....and I missed you
I got myself washed
.....and I missed you
I got myself dressed
.....and I missed you
I came downstairs
.....and I missed you
I've only been awake a few minutes
And already I've missed you so much.
To those who've never lost a child,
Does that not make you understand?
Does that not make you see?
Just what my life is like now
How everyday is for me.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES
Remember the good times
Don’t ever feel sad
Remember the pleasure
And love that I had
Remember the laughter
And all that we shared
Remember with pride
For I know that you cared
And blame yourselves not
For what I did not see
My life had everything
You gave much to me
With love in our hearts
The memories will stay
Remember I'm only
A whisper away............
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
♥♥ With Love ♥♥
They say that life is fleeting
I know that this is true
I left this world so quickly
With no goodbye to you.
I know how much you miss me
Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head
Is wet with them at night.
I know your heart is hurting
The words we left, unsaid
I love you left unspoken
Are spinning in your head.
The strength that I have carried
That served to make you whole
Remains to make you stronger
Within your grieving soul.
For you see, while you were weeping
On the day I passed away
At the gravesite near the flowers
Where my loved ones knelt to pray.
An angel came to see me
She took me by the hand
She led me to a kingdom
In a very distant land.
As I look down from the heaven
And see you standing there
Your heart so ever burdened
With more weight than it can bear.
I long to bring you comfort
I long to give you peace
I long to hold you closely
Cause all your tears to cease.
The joy I've found in heaven
Goes far beyond compare
The love that's so elusive
Can be found here everywhere.
The light is softly shining
There's no storm clouds here or rain
There's no teardrops found in heaven
There's no suffering, there's no pain.
You needn't be so troubled
Stay close to God and pray
That someday we'll be together
One bright and glorious day.
So my love, you shouldn't question
My dear you need not cry
I've gone to be with Jesus
I really didn't die.

Softly wings are flowing
Breezes through the air
Lightis of heaven shining
God’s masterpiece to share
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Gates of heaven open
With streams of light that show
Magnificence is captured here
Through portals of love will flow

See the clouds are forming now
They gather like soft wings
As gently angels carry love
With every hymn we sing
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Peaceful echoes sounding
With love that always chimes
Captured by the elegance
Of angels so divine
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Hearts of love so cherished
Enter now with grace
Carried on the wings of peace
With smile that we embrace

Handed to our father
With tender loving care
Brought to him with tenderness
His arms forever there

Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there,
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair."
You say you were chosen for His garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet,
"God really needed me
That's why I couldn't stay."
It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above,
I've always had my angel
Whose heart was filled with love.
Wherever the ocean meets the sky,
There will be memories of you and I.
When I look up at that sky so blue,
All I see are visions of you.
"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me."

Tributes For This Weekend
FOR FRIDAY 7th August
~Pennies Come From Heaven~
Found a penny today
Laying on the ground
But its not just a penny
This little coin I found
Pennies come from heaven
That's what my Mum told me
She said angels toss them down
Oh, how I loved this story
She said when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
Sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown
So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That your loved ones have tossed to you
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
~God's Garden~
God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again
He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills are hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
~When Tomorrow Starts Without Me~
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All 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 love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for;
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realised
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.
