Nancy - We would like to leave you with a couple of very old Irish blessings. The first for Jere, and the second for you and your family. God keep you all. We will dearly miss him. "You go home this night to your home of winter, to your home of autumn, of spring and of summer; You go home this night to your lasting home, to your eternal bed, to your eternal sleeping. Sleep, oh sleep in the quiet of quietness, Sleep, oh sleep in the way of guidance, Sleep, oh sleep in the love of all loving." "May Our Lady, who with a mother's love wipes away our tears and makes all manner of things well, intercede on behalf of those who are suffering the pain of loss. May God heal their grief, strengthen their faith and grant that their loved one rests in peace with Him for all eternity."
