CATHERINE KATHLEEN McVICKER May 3, 1940 - May 11, 2005 (Sixth Anniversary) Mna na hEireann; mo mháthair, mo chroi, ta tu go h-ailean. Though six short years ago, today still feels like yesterday, I paused to speak to you just now, which took my breath away, I turned to look, to hear your voice, yet no answer could I find, This silent moment I shared with thee now treasured in my mind. We talk to you each night dear Mum, and miss you deeply so, Your wisdom, comfort, strength and love, these gifts you did bestow, Our lives are so much different now; things aren't quite the same, Except for smiles and joy we share when speaking of your name. No one knows our pain so deep while time just passes by, Now these words we share with you, another tear we cry, Longing to see our beautiful mum, sister, granny and wife, Our sorrows you will wash away upon entering Eternal Life. Kathleen welcomed her beloved sister Josephine Milnes (nee Devlin) on March 3, 2011. Forever cherished and lovingly remembered by her husband Charles; children Karen, Joseph, Gregory and Angela; sons-in-law Kurt and Curt; daughter-in-law Mercy; grandchildren Finnula, Séanin, Seán, Nicola, Michelle, Kevin, Caitlin, Kieran and Ciarán; great-grandson Dayan; sisters Maureen Ratcliffe (Malcolm), and Colette Boyle (Thom), sister-in-law Cathy Devlin, nephew Malcolm (Bonnie), niece Tracey and family circles worldwide. Cuir do lámh i mo láimh, agus ná féach siar go deo.
