Memories and Condolences

Say Hi to the Gipper,

the four Horsemen

Rockne, Leahy and Devine

You’ve given me great memories

that will only be mine



You instilled within me

the love for Notre Dame

You’ll always be with me

as I watch each and every game



The Honor, the Tradition and the Glory

Touchdown Jesus, the Grotto -

they’re all part of the story



So wake up the echoes

and shake down the thunder

For there’s three things

for us all to remember:



God, Country and Notre Dame

Now there’s a fourth, Bup -

I’ll add your name



You've handed it down spotless

And I'll keep it that way

I'm proud to have it

And spotless, it will stay

BUP



Your smiling eyes

will surely be missed

By those who love you

and whose cheeks you kissed



Our family gatherings

will be bittersweet now

We'll be remembering the good times

we had when you were around



Every one of us will have a

story to share

Something special to hold

in our hearts, near and dear



You were such a sweet, great guy -

not enough words to explain you

Everyone felt special and at ease

for you were so easy to please



Your image and words will

stay with us always:

Always encouraging

Never disparaging

Forever endearing

even as the end was nearing



We love you, Bup

and we will miss you so much -

Keep your light on up there

because we'll all be in touch
