Mary Rose’s grand-daughter Sarah, delivered a fitting eulogy giving an insight into her grandmother’s life and recalling fond memories of times spent together. Sonin-law Jack recited a prayer and Sarah read a poem called ‘Hello it’s me’. Rev. Fr John Keane PP delivered words of appreciation on behalf of the family and the final prayers, before removal took place to The Island Crematorium where a private cremation service took place
May she rest in peace.
We extend our deepest sympathy to her loving daughters Tina Stepney and Catherine Thomas, son John, sonin-law Jack Phillips, daughter-in-law Debbie, her eleven grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren, relatives, neighbours and friends.
When God held out his precious hands
To take you from your pain,
You stretched your weary hand right back
As He softly called your name.
“Come home with me,” He quietly said
“Your pain will leave you soon,
Just close your eyes and take my hand
We’ll quietly leave the room.
Funeral arrangements were by Aidan Walsh & Sons Funeral Directors, Cappoquin & Tallow.
