Much Loved and Forever Missed
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die
We invite you to join us to celebrate the life of Joseph Connolly
Please RSVP to confirm that you can make the date.

Joe, you left a mighty impression on your visits to Boston. Your kindness and generosity of spirit touched all your aunts and cousins here. I know your father and my mother will be welcoming you to your eternal home. Slainte!
RIP Josie. Glad to have known you on your visits to Boston. Your cousin Peggy
So sad and tragic that Joe has joined dad in heaven. He will be missed may his soul rest in peace
Rest in peace Joe, I know you and Ben will be up there sharing pints of Guinness. I will always remember you both doing this in the Clare Inn years ago. Xx
To the man who was another grandad to me. Thank you for all the laughs and memories. Sleep peacefully until we see each other again soon, love ‘Kirkey’
