Tom O’Sullivan – A Thank You

Tom O’Sullivan……..A Thank You

Tom’s family wish to thank you for the wonderful send off given to him on the 29th
and 30th December 2024. It was a tribute fit for an old chieftain. We are certain he was chuckling at
some of the nice things said as we can imagine how he enjoyed the rousing music at the Church and
the cemetery.  Thank you to Fr. Fitzgerald for the use of Ballydaly Church for his reposing. It has
always been special in our lives.  Thanks to Fr. Kennelly for celebrating the Mass, a link back to old
days. Thanks to Fr. Winter and Fr. Paddy for their participation in the ceremony. The choir and
organist did a superb job and added so much to the occasion.  Thanks to Sharon for her work in the
preparation, to Marcella for her thoughtful arrangements and to Davy for his advice and guidance.
Thanks to all those who visited the church on Sunday or attended the Mass on Monday.  Thanks to
James Linehan and his group of musicians for their uplifting and impressive contribution. Our thanks
too to those who posted condolences, many of them very touching. Thanks to all who kept in touch
with him during his time in Araglen House where he received such care and loving attention.
Finally we come to the Ballydaly community who gave of their time and resources on Sunday and
Monday. Our words are inadequate but your generosity will be long remembered.
Go raibh maith agaibh go léir.

Eily’s Report – 11th February

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

A lovely Spring day T.G., February 11, the Feast Day of St. Gobnait, the patron saint of bees. Cold perhaps but it’s not stopping the little birds from singing their loudest songs from the highest trees. I think they like it when we come out. They seem to sing all the louder when we do and come out we should when there is no storm and rain. There is still a lot to see even after the ‘big  wind’.  To pick up the things that are lying around in it’s wake, gives us the chance to find the new life that is lurking below. Tender shoots have a strength all of their own and it never fails to amaze me to see how the soft tender beginnings of the daffodils can make their way up through crushed down leaves and last year’s nettles plus a few stones, to arrive strong and green and determined to play their part in the game of life which Mother Nature devises for them year after year, century after century, even if it’s too early for planting yet but it’s nice to be planning that is after we clean up the place after the severe weather. It’s great to see farmers out on the land. Their work is more important than our gardens and we wish them well. There are no sheep in my view and I’m sure baby lambs are arriving around this time.  They give the Spring and head start every year. To see them playing and prancing in the fields would raise anybody’s spirits. The very thought will make me drive out some day to where I can stop and admire and enjoy them.
