MAY - Des (Twentieth Anniversary), Ballinrobe.

In loving memory of beloved Des, whose twentieth anniversary occurred on October 30. Sadly missed by Geraldine and his Magnificent Seven; Paddy, David, Joanne, Deirdre, Des, Kevin and Brian.

If a man is honest,

with others and with himself

If he receives gratefully

and gives quietly

If he is gentle enough to feel and

strong enough to show his feelings

If he is slow to see the faults of others

but quick to discover their goodness

If he is cheerful in difficult times

and modest in success.

If he does his best

to be true to his beliefs

Then he is truly an admirable man.
