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

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

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.

Mrs Connolly,
Words cannot express how we all feel about you,you always were there when ineeded someone to talk to and helped my daughter with so much, it feels so strange going into the school and not seeing your wee smiling face, dont know how many times i told you to take things easy, but you being you thought of everyone else first!!! I went up to the cemetery to say hi the other day, you were probably laughing at the state i was in. I know you are up there still looking out for us all.xxxxxxxx
I hope you knew
Mum I hope you know I tried everything I could to help you on that morning. I want to thank you for protecting Kieran that morning you know what i'm talking about. Mum if you shouted on me I am so sorry I never heard you but you told me to hurry and get ready for mass although it was too early, I know why you were so anxious to get me and Kieran out the house, but I am so glad that as usual I didn't listen to you!!! I was with you mum praying desperately but i Knew you were gone. Fr Vincent was there as well telling me to have hope but I couldn't, I could only think what are we going to do without you. Mum you lived your life for others and I am so proud that you were my mum and noone else's. I just wish you were with me today I love you so much.xxxxxxxxxx St. John Bosco pray for her xxxxxxxxxx
mrs connolly
mrs connolly was the very pulse of st fergus primary school, anything you need to know you knew exactly where to go, she went far above and beyond her work duties to become a friend and would help people even when they thought they didnt need it, i have loads of good memories of mrs connolly she could have you in stitches with something she said while keeping a straight face herself, she loved her life, work and family and never complained about either like most of us enjoy doing so much lol. everyone that was ever a pupil or parent of a pupil at st fergus will always have love and respect for a woman whom we borrowed from heaven to add a little love and smile to our lives, and we are grateful and thank god that we got to know her xx
Everytime I am in the school office it feels as though Mrs Connolly is still there, even now that I am older we all still refer to her as Mrs Connolly.
Every week at mass you kept telling me to keep at the music you always encouraged me when i felt like packing it in. I have placed a photo of St John Bosco on the piano and it reminds me of you and what you taught us all about him and his work.
Thank You
Michael x
I miss you so much and I was so gratefull that you chose me that morning to be there with you. I will always look after your family with your help. But you knew that, I believe that is why I was there at the right time. I bet you are all holding co-operators meetings up in heaven you have a good bunch with you probably driving God and St Peter daft. But I always remind all the kids Mrs Connolly said share and after all that what you did best. Love Joanie
we remember you
Mrs C . wot a women ............
she done so much for so many ppl and i no ppl will be tokin about her 4 years , she was mrs , st.fregus she done everythin for all those kids and that was her real work she was a mother to everyone no matter wot age cos when the kids she took care of grown up the were still her kids , she was soooooooo well respected liked and loved and that is why we miss her so much and how she can never be replaced
miss u Mrs C XXXXXXXXXXXXX
I knew you for as long as I can remember, and it still doesn't seem real that you're no longer here. I always remember in school, whenever anything was needed we were always told 'ask Mrs connolly' because that's the way it was. You ran the place and looked out for everybody, and I know you're still the same now. I know you're looking after Anji and kieran, and the rest of your family. you're missed lots by everyone who knew you. Rest in peace Mrs connolly' love always, Carrie xoxox
you shared the same name as beautiful mum so just thought i would say goonight bless to you xxx margaret (peggy) connolly daughter
