GALLIGAN Michael
Duncarbery, Tullghan, Co. Leitrim
1st Anniversary
In loving memory of Michael who died on 30th July 2008

The pain I feel today
Is the pain
I have learned to hide
No one will ever know
The tear I hold inside
It seems like only yesterday
The wound is still so sore
For every hour of every day
I miss you more and more

Loved and remembered by your wife Nuala

Life goes on without you
But things are not the same
It's hard to hide the heartache
When someone speaks your name
We think about you often
And talk about you too
We will always have the memories
But we wish we still had you

Loved and remembered by your daughter Johanne, son-in-law Michael, grandsons Ryan and Aaron McElhinney

God knew you were suffering
That the hill was hard to climb
So he gently closed your eylids
And whispered peace be thine
In tears we watched you sinking
We watched you fade away
Our hearts were nearly broken
You fought so hard to stay
But when we watched you sleeping so peaceful
Free from pain, we could not wish you back
To suffer that again
It broke our hearts to see you go
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home

Always remembered and sadly missed your daughter Ruth Galligan

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "Come to me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
We watched you fade away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands now rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best

Loved and remembered by your daughter Michelle, son-in-law Cian, grandson Turlough Kelly
