KELLY, Delphine

KELLY Delphine (Dublin) (died February 10, 2012) - Delphine's children Nick, David, Alexia, Julia and Bernard wish to thank all the many people who helped and supported us at the time of our beloved Mum's unexpected departure. We particularly want to express our deep appreciation to all those who managed Delphine's final journey home from her epic adventure in the Galapagos Islands so efficiently and caringly, especially Claire Cunneen, Honorary Irish Consul to Ecuador Dominique Kennedy, Sonja Hyland, and the staff of Fanagans Undertakers; to Father Martin Clark, Monsignor Richard Sherry, Abbot Mark Patrick Hederman, Jimmy Reynolds and the organist and choir who made Delphine's funeral Mass such a moving celebration of her happy life and indomitable spirit; to Delphine's extended family and relatives, her neighbours from Ailesbury Road and George's Avenue, and her many dear friends and colleagues who joined us in the church for her removal or funeral Mass, or who sent floral tributes, Mass cards or letters of sympathy; and to all our own partners, children and friends who have been such a source of strength and comfort over the past twelve months. Tomorrow (Sunday) the 10.30 o'clock Mass at the Sacred Heart Church Donnybrook will be offered in memory of Delphine and our late father John, and for your intentions.And though I move away from you
These borders I define
Link us together
In a chain that winds out
Far beyond us
Holds us united nations
In the face of time
