In a very moving and beautiful tribute at Patricia’s Funeral Mass today Aedamur concluded her wonderful words of appreciation and thanks to her dear Mum with such a fitting quotation: “Don’t cry that I am gone but celebrate that I was here.” Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.
As Patricia McSwiney in Glounthaune in Cullen she lived in her early years of life
Before she came to live in Coomlogane as the late Pat Kelly’s wife
They lived by Green Glens of show jumping renown
A five to eight minutes walk at most from Millstreet Town
A school teacher like her late husband in Coomlogane they raised their family
She was well known and well liked in the Millstreet community
Yet of a humble quiet achiever when memories of her we recall
One who never did yearn for the limelight at all
Grieved by her friends and her family as a good person in life she was known
In her teaching in young minds the seeds of knowledge she has sown
Millstreet better for her living in it in truth one can say
And so much the worse off for her passing today
Though never to be seen in Coomlogane or Millstreet Town again
In all who knew her good memories of her will remain
From life’s cares and suffering death brings to all a release
And the good person Patricia Kelly may she now rest in peace.
