Dear Katie, John, and the Joyce Family

I was very sorry to hear of your mom's death. I haven't seen her since we all lived in Rogers Park, but I remember her Irish brogue the most. I know how you all feel right now. No matter how old we are, it is very hard to lose your mother. I have been thinking of all of you these past few days. Your mother's name will be mentioned during Sunday mass at 10:30am at St. Paul of the Cross Church in Park Ridge. You all have my deepest sympathy. Take care.

Dear, Mary, Johnny, Peggy, Pat, Katie, Mikey, Patricia and Tony.

As I sat in church, at your Dear mothers funeral mass, I had so many memories of her, rushing through my mind.Too many to list here.



I will never forget how she put up with all of us, when we were kids.

Now that I am older, and have sons of my own, I understand what your mother went through.

I thank God, to have each, and every one of you in my life. Even though I don't see some of you a lot, you are always in my heart.

I will never forget your mom, or her sweet Irish brogue. My love to you all.

Our deepest gratitude to all who have expressed their sorrow and concern to my family at this time of deep sorrow for us. We loved her and will miss her.



"Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam" = May she rest in peace.



In my mothers last day she was always dreaming of Ireland and her days as a young child growing up there. This Irish verse reminded me of that.



Whenever I dream, it seems I dream Of Erin's rolling hills

Of all its lovely, shimmery lakes and little babbling rills

I hear a Colleen's lilting laugh across a meadow fair

And in my dreams its almost seems to me that I am there

O, Ireland! O', Ireland! We're Never far apart

For you and all your beauty fill my mind and touch my heart.





Erin Please e-mail me.
