Aileen First Confession

Celebrating the special occasion.

Waiting in line. Cool as a cumcumber. Mom was nervous.

It's official.

Right after the big event. Notice the halo over her head.

I memorized my act of contrition.

Aunt Brigid's Visit!

You should come back!!

I'll read you "My Book of Colors"
We can play monster... Rarr

You can build block towers and I can knock them down!!
You and Mom can find treasure on Xbox

I'll let you give me a couple kisses

I love you Aunt Brigid come back soon :-)

Death is nothing at all

Death is nothing at all

I have only slipped away into the next room

I am I and you are you

Whatever we were to each other

That we are still

Call me by my old familiar name

Speak to me in the easy way you always used

Put no difference into your tone

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow

Laugh as we always laughed

At the little jokes we always enjoyed together

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was

Let it be spoken without effort

Without the ghost of a shadow in it

Life means all that it ever meant

It is the same as it ever was

There is absolute unbroken continuity

What is death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind

Because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you for an interval

Somewhere very near

Just around the corner

All is well.

Nothing is past; nothing is lost

One brief moment and all will be as it was before

How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Canon Henry Scott-Holland

This reminded me of Father Kelly. Hope it brings you healing

Remembering Father Michael Kelly

Carol Ann Saying Good Bye.......

On, Dec 31, 2008, our beloved pastor, Fr. Michael Kelly, was killed by a falling tree while helping to clear the road during a severe wind storm. We are grieving for our loss. He was a true soldier for Christ. He administered most of the sacraments to our family during the time we knew him. Baptism for baby Thomas (above), First communion for Rose (above), Last rites for dad when he had his stroke, Concelebrating wedding Mass for Cathleen & Tom, frequent Mass and Confession. The example he set for Eddie and John will be treasured. We pray that our friendship will be renewed in heaven.

A Wonderful Christmas visit!

I love my Nana
Thomas and his Great Grandma
