An Irish Rose for Our Dear Aunt Agnes



You're our dear little Irish Rose,

The dearest aunt we've ever known.

So many memories together we've shared,

Such kindness to us you've shown.



You've given us part of your heart

You brought sunshine to us each day.

We would love to hug and kiss you, if only you weren't so far away.



We miss you terribly, and we send our love to you up in heaven.

Rev. John R Kauzlarich

It was my privilege to know Agnes, her sister, Catherine, and brothers, Tom and Larry, during my years as pastor of St. John Parish in Glenwood. Because of the generosity of the Murphy-Kelly Families the parish flourished. Agnes, Catherine, Tom and Larry are together again for all eternity with the Lord. May Agnes, a lovely lady, rest in peace.
