Hugs and misses of life in lockdown A WATERFORD boy is among 32 Barretstown campers, from every county in Ireland, calling on the public to share a virtual hug and help the children’s charity.

Adam Champan (11) is one of the many children to have enojoyed the camp in Co Kildare (pictured right) that offers free, specially designed programmes for children and their families living with a serious illness.

The Covid-19 crisis has left these children more isolated than ever and they need Barretstown’s therapeutic programmes during this challenging time but the charity has had to cancel several key fundraising events and activities .

Donations from the virtual HUG campaign will help.

To send a virtual HUG for Barretstown, share or post the animated Barretstown HUG on Barretstown’s Facebook page to your own social page and tag as many friends and family as you like. You can also text HUG to 50300 to donate €2.

APPEAL: Electric Ireland and Pieta are launching an urgent appeal for the public to donate at

darknessintolight.ie. More than 250,000 people were expected to come together for the walk which is the main annual source of funding for Pieta’s fight against suicide and self-harm. but the event had to be cancelled.

Export and import traffic continues and there was a 23% increase in container traffic and a 15% decrease in bulk throughput in the three months to 31 March this year compared to the same period in 2019.

Nursing homes ‘need more cash aid’

NURSING homes will still struggle to cope with the additional pressure from the Covid-19 crisis, despite the €72m financial scheme announced earlier this month, a Waterford TD has said.

Mary Butler has been engaging with a number of nursing homes, which say costs incurred will not be covered by the funding.

Ms Butler is Fianna Fáil’s spokesperson on older people.

She said many privarte nursing homes had closed their doors in the first week of March but were only entitled to claim funding from April 1.

“Many of these nursing homes had to pay for their own PPE and employ additional staff so that they could adhere to guidelines,” she said.

“Activities which would have previously carried out in a group setting had to be offered on an individual basis,” she said.

“Substantial costs were accrued, which cannot be reimbursed under this scheme.”

Ms Butler called for “additional resources” to help the nursing homes.

‘Help’ pleas flood in for Community Call service WATERFORD’s Community Call received more than 500 calls in its first week of operation.

A team of 32 staff from the City and County Council and two HSE staff have been covering 12-hour shifts from 8am to 8pm every day to operate the service which aims to direct people to the help they need during the Covid-19 crisis.

No request is considered nonessential and there are huge numbers of community and voluntary groups and local organisations working in the background to make sure noone is left in need of help.

Mayor John Pratt said: “I find the response to the Waterford Community Call to be heartwarming and shows us all how much we have to offer when our need is greatest. I am particularly encouraged by how much people are willing to help each other. It is by working together that we will stay stronger.”

The contact details for the Community Call are 1800 250 185 or email covidsupport@ waterfordcouncil.ie Meanwhile, as part of the response to Covid-19 under way across the entire health system, a number of Community Assessment Hubs are being established in Waterford and across the South East.

The Community Assessment Hubs are for patients who have a definite or presumptive diagnosis of Covid-19, when their

GP decides they need a faceto-face clinical assessment.

Patients can only access the Community Assessment Hub following referral by their GP. Community Assessment Hub facilities are operational at University Hospital Waterford and Kilcreene Hospital, Kilkenny.

It is intended that a Wexford Community Assessment Hub (located at Wexford General Hospital) will soon be operational, followed by hubs in Tippertary and at St. Dympna’s Hospital, Carlow.

HSE/South East Community Healthcare’s aim in providing the hubs, is to ensure that anyone who requires a faceto-face clinical assessment can be reviewed within a primary care setting and as quickly as possible.

This will assist patients who need assessment but not immediate hospital care. The aim is to avoid referrals to acute hospitals where possible.

Following review and clinical assessment at the Community Assessment Hubs, patients may either be asked to return home, referred to hospital or be referred to a self isolation facility when it is not feasible for an individual to self isolate within their own home.

The Community Assessment Hubs are staffed by GPs, in association with healthcare professionals – including nurses and physiotherapists and administration staff.

Rents still rising but at slower rate RENTS in Waterford city rose slightly towards the end of last year. There was a small drop in the county.

New figures show that the rate of inflation in the city had slowed considerably by the last quarter to just over one per cent from the previous quarter. In the county the average rent fell by €2 to €837.

The annual rise in Waterford city was 7.9 per cent. The average monthly rent for the last quarter in Waterford city was €796, up from €738 in the year.

The Residential Tenancies Board index shows that, nationally, the standardised average rent was €1,226 per month.

This represents a 6.4% annual increase, the lowest annual increase since the first quarter of 2014.

There are no figures yet to indicate the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on rents.

Sinn Féin said rents were still rising too fast. Housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin said every single county had seen their rents rise in the last 12 months by more than 4%.

“These increases represent real financial burdens on low and modest income renters - and that was before the Covid-19 surge in unemployment,” he said. He called for a three-year rent reduction and freeze.

Grass is always shorter on otherside

H

ow does your garden grow?

Hardly at all, if my neighbours are anything to go by. Never have lawns been so frequently mowed or hedges so regularly trimmed.

Lockdown has turned many fingers green. One of my daughters is planting a wildflower garden at her house, another has taken to growing vegetables.

I am sorry to report that this green tide has not reached me.

As I have confessed in this column before, my efforts at gardening are largely a form of warfare, in which I emerge from the trenches for slash and burn attacks aimed at halting the advance of weeds and their allies, the brambles. Sadly, noncombatant flowers and inoffensive shrubs often fall victim to friendly fire.

Lockdown has not changed my approach but, whereas these manoeuvres were once conducted every six months at most, I now go over the top every six days, more frequently if

Michael Wolsey

there is nothing good on television.

My lawn is cut to the quick, the shrubs reduced to stumps, and woe betide any weed that dares to raise its head in Wolsey Gardens.

DIY has also spread among my neighbours like, well, a virus.

I am told that new-found enthusiasm for baking has put flour in short supply. Surely, the same will soon apply to paint.

The decent man next door, having painted a small wall that divides us, asked if he could pop over and do my side. I assured him he was welcome - “do the

whole house if you like!”. And, you know, if this goes on much longer, he just might.

I have no plans to give it a try myself. I believe writing and painting don’t mix and, because that is a good excuse, refer you in evidence to the case of Brendan Behan who was a painter before he was an author.

Behan was employed by Irish Lights and sent to paint a lighthouse at St John’s Point, which is on the County Down coast,

not far from Newcastle.

The budding playwright charmed many of the locals but not the principal lighthouse keeper, a Mr D Blakely, who wrote to Irish Lights asking them to sack Behan, whom he described as “the worst specimen” he had met in 30 years of service .

“His language is filthy and he is not amenable to any law or order,” he wrote. “The spare house, which was clean and

ready for painters, has been turned into a filthy shambles inside a week. Empty stinking milk bottles, articles of food, coal, ashes and other debris litter the floor of the place which is now in a scandalous condition of dirt.”

Although Behan often boasted about his painting skills, I suspect his heart was never really in the job.

His approach, as described

by Mr Blakely, seems rather

like my own on the odd occasion when I have been called upon to tackle such work. “He is wilfully wasting materials, opening drums and paint tins by blows from a heavy hammer, spilling the contents which is now running out of the paint stores. Drums of waterwash opening and exposed to the weather, paint brushes dirty and lying all around the station — no cleaning up of any mess but he tramps through everything.”

The letter was written in 1950 when Behan was 27. Mr Blakely also complained that “the painter B Behan (was) absent from his work all day yesterday and not returning to station until 1.25am this morning”.

I suspect Behan may have discovered the simple truth that, if you approach a job really badly, someone else is likely to do it for you.

That’s my plan for home improvements in this era of coronavirus. The painter is poised next door. Now I just need to find a volunteer plasterer, window cleaner and landscape gardener. Time, I am sorry to say, is on my side.

Mortgage rates: Irish borrowers paying more

The Central Bank report on retail interest rates for February 2020 showed Irish mortgage holders are paying 1.56% more than their euro area counterparts.

This costs them in excess of €236 more every month on a €300k mortgage over 30 years.

That is a massive €85,100 over the lifetime of the mortgage.

While Irish rates have come down over recent times, this is still an enormous gap, with little justification for it. The Report also shows that 76% of all new mortgage agreements in the three months to February are fixed rate mortgages, a new high. This is an increasing trend and evidence that consumers are looking for security in their financial planning.

While the Covid-19 pandemic can be expected to slow the mortgage market for the near future, none of us know with any degree of certainty the full

Irish consumers are losing out on every front, paying high interest rates and not having better euro area type mortgage products that enable people to plan their financial futures with confidence.

This is not just bad for consumers, it is ultimately bad for lenders too because over time consumers are likely to migrate to or find newer developing forms of borrowing.

Mortgage holders can benefit from rising house prices of recent years with an improved loan-to-value (LTV) ratio.

Most lenders offer a lower interest rate where there is a better LTV ratio. But consumers need to be proactive in seeking out a better rate from their lenders and should seek the advice of a broker.

Split stats put us top of divorce league

WATERFORD is the county with highest divorce rate in Ireland.

The unenviable distinction has been revealed in figures from the Court Service for 2018.

Waterford had 102 divorces per 100,000 of population, closely followed by our neighbours in Carlow (97), Dublin (92) and Westmeath (89).

At the other end of the scale was Co Cavan where there were 54 divorce applications for every 100,000 people, followed

by Roscommon (56) and Meath (57).

In 2018, there was a total of 3,864 applications to the circuit court for divorce, a rate of 81 per 100,000 population.

Another 1,238 couples looked for a judicial separation, which regulates the break-up a marriage but does not allow for re-marriage.

Women were considerably more likely than men to apply for divorce.

Nationally, the figures show that 55.8 per cent of applications — or 2,155 in total — came from wives.

New ward opens its doors Support teams

in place to help nursing homes

MENTAL health services in the Waterford area are marking a significant move this month, with the opening of the new Aidan’s ward at the Waterford Residential Care Centre.

The centre project is on a site adjacent to St. Patrick’s Hospital. The new Aidan’s comprises 20 en-suite single bedrooms in purpose built modern accommodation, to replace a shared model for Psychiatry of Later Life residents previously provided

at the nearby St. Otteran’s Hospital.

Three further units within the Waterford Residential Care Centre, totalling 80 en-suite single bedrooms, will replace long stay accomodation for the elderly previously housed in wards at the adjacent St. Patrick’s Hospital.

Psychiatry of Later Life is a specialist mental health service for people over the age of 65 who haven’t used mental health services before

and have been referred by a GP or consultant. The Psychiatry of Later Life team work in partnership with local GPs, hospitals and other health care and social services.

Pictured: Nursing and Healthcare staff at the new ward, from left: Godsave, Fiona, Melissa, Liuba, Joanne, Sibéal, Catherine, Ava and assistant director of nursing for Waterford Mental Health Service, Margaret Reid.

THE HSE has created a network of support teams for nursing homes in Waterford.

It is providing assistance to residential facilities for older people during the Covid-19 crisis, here and in Kilkenny, South Tipperary and Wexford.

The support teams are made up of staff from the acute hospitals and community healthcare services, with support from Public Health specialists and Infection Control professionals.

The teams are led by experienced nurse managers from South East Community Healthcare, including senior doctors and nurses from acute hospitals and the community service and consultant geriatricians from University Hospital Waterford.

MOVING UP: Long stay residents of St. Patrick’s Hospital in Waterford have moved to new accommodation in the recently completed Waterford Residential Care Centre.

The purpose-built Waterford

Residential Care Centre project was developed on a site adjacent to St. Patrick’s Hospital. The centre features three units, totalling 80 en-suite single bedrooms, to replace long stay accommodation for the elderly previously housed in wards at St. Patrick’s.

The 30 bed Farronshoneen, 20 bed Farrandale and the 20 bed Grange units in the new centre now house those residents previously accommodated in St. Patrick’s. A new glazed corridor links the new development to the St. Patrick’s Hospital building. The rehabilitation ward and associated facilities will continue to operate in the St. Patrick’s building and the premises will also be used for non-residential healthcare.

An additional unit of 20 en-suite single bedrooms at the Waterford Residential Care Centre replaces a shared model for Psychiatry of Later Life previously provided for residents at a building located on the grounds of the nearby St. Otteran’s Hospital.

Irish staff say they feel abandoned by the UK owner.

Their treatment has been condemned by the Siptu union, which is challenging the way redundancy was served.

Siptu organiser, Myles Worth, said: “Staff were not provided with adequate information concerning this process and have not been provided with any redundancy package.”

People Before Profit representative Úna Dunphy, who joined the Waterford protest, said the decision to leave staff without redundancy payment was disgraceful.

She said workers believe Debenhams are using Covid-19 as a convenient way to bail out

It has called for: *A Government-backed commercial rent grant scheme equal to 60% of the rent and service charge cost during the emergency period. *Permanent cancellation of all local authority rates for all impacted businesses for a 12-month period. *Liquidity supports for retail businesses and speedy and simplified implementation of these supports by the banks. *Distribution of a gift card of €500 to all Irish households which can only be spent in bricks and mortar stores. *A back to work scheme to re-employ the highest possible proportion of workers laid off.

Debenhams’ staff link up for online protest

SOME of the staff from Debenhams staged a demonstration outside the Waterford store, protesting at the way they have been treated by the company’s British-based owners. There were similar protests at six other Debenhams’ stores in Dublin and Cork.

Gardai intervened when there was a problem over social distancing at one of the Dublin protests.

Demonstrators were supported online in a virtual protest by hundreds of other workers who have been made redundant.

The company employs almost 1500 people at its 11 Irish stores, with a further 500 people employed by in-store concession outlets. The stores have been closed by Covid-19 restrictions and the company says they will not re-open.

Is June realistic for sport to restart?

W

hile the Premier League in England scrambles for a plan to allow them to finish the 2019-20 season, we have had a plan in place here for some time, namely resuming League of Ireland activities in June.

The question has to be asked though, is June realistic for the resumption of the SSE Airtricity Premier and First divisions (the ‘June Plan’ involves resuming the leagues on the weekend of Friday 19 June and finishing in December)?

The same questions applies to GAA, rugby and all other sports.

An awful lot of water has flowed under the bridge since the plan was hatched a month ago after a teleconference involving all 19 League of Ireland clubs.

It pains me to say it – because like everyone else I want football and every other aspect of life to return to normal – but I don’t think we will be seeing

football resume in June. That’s just too soon to be able to have large gatherings of people huddled in stadiums, not to mention players up close and personal with each other on the field.

Too much is still up in the air about COVID-19.

We are still in full lockdown as we wait for the pandemic to be brought under control.

Hospitals are strained to breaking point.

There is no vaccine on the horizon, no evidence that even if we get antibody testing (to see who has had the virus) that it will prove ongoing immunity in those who have cleared the virus from their systems. Social distancing will be a feature of life into 2021.

Major sporting events due to be scheduled over the summer have fallen off the 2020 calendar. No Wimbledon, no Tour de France, no Tokyo Olympics, no 2020 UEFA European Championships.

This summer will not be one for sport.

It will be one for the serious business of continued social distancing, lifting of lockdowns gradually and planning for how

Waterford FC’s Graham Cummins gets the better of Bray Wanderers Gary Shaw in a match before the lockdown began

to get back to normal while dealing with COVID-19 on an ongoing basis going forward.

September is a more realistic target for resuming in my opinion.

The FAI need to take the decision that all football activity remains suspended until the other side of the summer.

What would that mean? It would mean having only the period from September to December available to complete the 2020 SSE seasons.

The obvious thing would be to give both the Premier and First divisions a haircut that would reduce them to two series of games, namely each club playing each other once at home and once away.

Even this – as extreme as it sounds – wouldn’t be the end of things. You are looking at reduced crowds being allowed into stadiums to allow for social distancing.

Add in the wearing of gloves that would muffle both COVID-19 and the claps of fans, facemasks that would muffle both COVID-19 and the cheers of fans and it will make for a very bizarre experience.

Robin in song.

(Photo Justin Ivory) It’s May so it is time to set your clocks early to get up and celebrate the beauty of birdsong with one of nature’s great events – the dawn chorus.

If you have never been privy to this magical experience, then I urge you to at least once make the effort to drag yourself out of bed before dawn. You will be in for a treat.

What is the dawn chorus?

It is the time of day when birds are at their most vocal and it reaches a peak in May in the Northern Hemisphere as by this time most of our summer migrants have arrived in and join with our resident birds.

The highest number of individuals and range of species are singing this month to create the best free daily concert you’ll ever hear!

Which birds sing?

It is mainly male birds that sing with one notable exception being the Robin, where females also sing (but mainly in Autumn/Winter).

Why do birds sing?

Two main reasons; to mark and defend a territory, and to attract a mate.

Why sing at dawn?

Many reasons. It is an efficient use of time as it is still too dark to search for food. It let’s rival males know you survived the night and the territory is still occupied.

There is not much predator activity at this time of the day, so it is safer. Females are also at their most fertile early in the morning.

There is less air and wind turbulence, and less background noise, so sound carries further.

International Dawn Chorus Day Sunday May 3 marks International Dawn Chorus Day while Sunday May 17 marks National Dawn Chorus Day and there will be events happening across the country.

You can join me at 4am in the wonderful Killruddery estate in Bray on both days where I will be leading walks followed by breakfast (need to register in advance).

film of the week

Normal People

By Sally Rooney

OZARK Netflix

Selah and the Spades Amazon Prime

Sally Rooney’s novel is long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, and there is a Lenny Abrahamson TV adaptation coming to RTE on Tuesday evenings. The author understands enduring Irishness, sifting forensically through the leavings of intense pain. Normal People follows the author’s successful debut, Conversations with Friends, and the central, on-off relationship is documented with remarkable commitment. The saga commences as Connell and Marianne begin a sexual relationship in their last year in school in the West of Ireland town of Carricklea and takes off from there.

The comparisons with Breaking Bad don’t go away but, now in its third series, pretty much everyone watching Ozark will tell you that at its best it is criminally good backwoodsnoir. The previously mild-mannered financial adviser Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman) continues to be up to his neck in it with drug barons in Missouri. Like Breaking Bad’s Walter White, Marty becomes ever more darkly criminal as he gets increasingly desperate. It’s a show that runs on his life-or-death problemsolving, and a whole lot of murk.

The characters in Tayarisha Poe’s film, pupils at an elite American boarding school, are precocious even by the standards of such places. They feud like movie gangsters. Nifty dialogue, music and camerawork support this concept, creating a heightened teenage drama.

Lovie Simone and Celeste O’Connor, as the faction leader Selah and her protégée, give a well-acted portrait of two young women. “This arresting debut about a high-school ‘queen bee’ nurturing her successor-in-crime heralds a singular new talent in director Tayarisha Poe,” The Guadian says. High praise indeed.

In Loving Memory

16th Anniversary john cahill

35th Anniversary JOHNNY DOWER

Unseen and unheard but always near, So loved, so missed, so very dear

Acknowledgement Elizabeth O’Neill

5th Anniversary & Birthday Remembrance Martina EGAN In loving memory of John Cahill, late of 94 St. John’s Park, whose 16th anniversary occurs on 26th April.

A rose once grew where all could see, Sheltered beside a garden wall, And as the days passed swiftly by, It spread its branches straight and tall, One day a beam of light shone through, A crevice that had opened wide, The rose bent gently toward its warmth, Then passed beyond to the other side, Now you who deeply feel its loss, Be comforted, the rose blooms there, It’s beauty even greater now, Nurtured by God’s own loving care - From your loving family

30th Anniversary Catherine dubber

In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, late of 100 Larchville Est., who sadly passed on the 18th April 1990

.

Mam, When the emptiness of missing you, Is more than I can bear, I whisper “Mam I love you”, And always find you there, For you left behind your spiirt, It guides me like a light, Your gentleness surrounds me, To be with me all my life, And when the road is rocky, And I’m down and need a crutch, I remember you’re beside me, Just an inch too short to touch.

-Loved and missed everyday by your daughter Joanie & Christy R.I.P. xx Our hearts are full of memories, With pride we speak your name, Though life goes on without you, It will never be the same, Those special days will not return, When we were all together, But with love and memories, You will walk with us forever.

-Always remembered, your grandchildren & partners, and great grandchildren xx

PRAYER TO ST JUDE Most holy apostle St Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus. I am so helpless and alone. I implore you to bring visible and speedy help. Come to my assistance in this great need (ask for favour). I will be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour you as my special and powerful patron.

Amen. Promise publication and favour will be granted P.G.

- From Adrienne and Brendan

Falling tears & aching heart Are things I have to bear, Losing you the way I did Will always seem unfair, May the wind of love blow gently On a quiet & peaceful spot Where Martina lies sleeping And will never be forgot.

- From your loving husband Sonny.

A sudden call from God on high, I had no chance to say goodbye, Without farewell you fell asleep But memories of you I will always keep, A tribute of love to Martina, so dear, So close to my heart Every day of the year.

- From Vicky, Ray, Robyn and Harry

Once we had something, That money could not buy, We had a special daughter, But had to say goodbye, Photos of you we treasure, But they are all we have to touch, Of a daughter we loved so dearly, And miss so very much.

- Always in our thoughts and prayers Martina, all our love, Mam & Dad You left us without a warning, Not even a goodbye, And I can’t seem to stop, Asking the question why, I didn’t see this coming, It hit us by suprise, And when you left for heaven, A small part of me died, Your smile could brighten anyones day, No matter what they were going through, And every day for the rest of my life, I’ll be missing you.

- Love and miss you Martina, from your sister and brother in law Sandra and Ger. Missing you always, You never said I’m leaving, You never said goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts we hold a place, That only you can fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, A part of us went with you, The day god took you home.

- Love and miss you always Martina, from your sister and brother in law Jacqueline and Shell Martina, I hide my tears, When I say your name, But the pain in my heart, Is still the same, Though I smile and seem carefree, There is no-one who misses you more than me.

- Gone but never forgotten, your brother John.

Fiv year shas passed since that sad day, When Martina we loved was called away, God took her home, It was his will, But in our hearts she liveth still.

- Your loving nephews Gary, Jason and Aaron.

We hold you close, Within our hearts, And there you shall remain, To walk with us, Throughout our lives, Until we meet again.

So rest in peace dear Martina, And thanks for all you’ve done,

In loving memory of Martina Egan, late of 62 Cannon St., whose 5th Anniversary occurs on 1st May, and whose Birthday occurs on 18th May. Will those who think of her today, a little prayer to Jesus say.

We pray that God has given you, The crown you’ve truly won.

- From your loving nieces Ciara, Laura and Michaela.

Aunt, You’re not forgotten, Dearest Martina, Nor will you ever be, As long as life, And memory lasts, We will remember you.

- Loving you always, your grand niece Leah, your grand nephews Mason & Josh A birthday wish for you to-day, Not a card or present in the usual way, I sent a dove to heaven, With a parcel on its wings, Be careful how you open it, For its full of beautiful things, Inside are a million kisses, Wrapped up in a million hugs, To wish you happy birthday, And to send you all my love.

- Love and miss you always, Sonny.

Today is your birthday Martina, Without candles or cake, And since you’re not with us, We will not celebrate, No birthday card to give you, No gifts to show we care, We have a special birthday prayer, So Happy Birthday Martina, Have a lovely day, That’s what we would say to you, If you were here today, Let the stars be burning candles, And keep them burning bright, So that when we look up to the sky, We know that you’re alright.

- Happy Birthday Martina, From your loving family Sweet is your memory Dear is your name, Deep in our hearts you will always remain, It does not take a special day For me to think of you, Each mass I hear, Each prayer I say

MIRACULOUS, PRAYER TO ST. THERESA, THE LITTLE FLOWER O Glorious, st. Theresa whom Almighty God has raised up to aid and counsel mankind. I invite your miraculous intercessiodarraghn. So powerful are you in obtaining every need of body and soul, Our Holy Mother Church proclaims, you a prodigy of Miracles. The Business Saint of Modern Times, now I fervently beseach you to anser my petition (mention here) and carry out our promise of doing good upon earth, of letting fall from Heaven a shower of roses. Henceforth, Dear Little Flower, I will fulfil your plea to be made known everywhere and I will never cease to lead others to Jesus through you. Amen..D.P

Is offered up to you.

- From Peggy

In the silence of morning, You heard a gentle call, Taking the hand of Jesus, You quickly left us all, You suffered much in silence You faced each day with courage And smiled right to the end, Martina, you were my sister-inlaw, And Martina, I miss you so much.

- From Angela, Hamish, Ben, Bill and Tony.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best Missing you every single day.

-From Mick, Tina, Lauren and Kelly A date that’s filled with sadness Returns to us today, It marks the day you left us In such a sudden way, No sad farewells were spoken, No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why.

- From Rose, John, Lynn, Dean and Eimear Falling tears & aching heart Are things we have to bear, Losing you the way we did Will always seem unfair, May the wind of love blow gently On a quiet & peaceful spot, Where Martina lies sleeping And will never be forgot.

-From Elaine, Eddie, Ellen, Bill and Paul A shadow walks beside me Forever by my side, Always there to guide me, Ever since you died, No matter how my life may change, No matter what I do, There is a place within my heart Martina, That is forever kept for you.

You were always there with a helping hand, To listen, advise & understand, Your pleasures were simple, Your wants were few, If we were happy, so were you, To us you were very special, What more is there to say, We only wish with all our hearts, That you were here today.

- From Deirdre, John, Jack and Sam A smile for all, a heart of gold, One of the best the world could hold, Never selfish, always kind, These are the memories you left behind, To hear your voice, to see you smile, To sit and talk with you a while, To be together in the same old way, Would be our dearest wish to day, Though absent, you are always near, Still loved, still missed, still very dear.

- From Kieran, Louise, Ryan & Leo. No more will we hear you call our names, Or hear you say those old refrains, And when old times we do recall, Thats when we miss you most of all, Memories we keep one by one, Things you have said, Songs you have sung, They bring back a smile often a tear, And always a wish that you were still here.

- From Majella When we last saw your smiling face You looked so bright & well Little did we know that day was to be your last farewell, To us you were someone special, Someone kind and true, You will never be forgotten Martina, For we thought the world of you, Sunshine passes & shadows fall, But love & memories outlast them all.

- From Tommy, Angela and family God looked around his garden And saw an empty space, He then looked down from Heaven And saw your tired face, He wrapped his arms around you And whispered Come to rest, His garden must be beautiful, Martina, because He only takes the best.

- From Bill

In loving memory of Johnny Dower, late of 17 Andrew Street, who died 22nd April 1985.

In Loving Memory Unseen and unheard but always near, So loved, so missed, so very dear

4th Anniversary BILLY KELLY

1st Anniversary & Birthday Remembrance JOHN DUGGAN Michael

In loving memory of John Duggan, late of 14 Plunkett Road, Kingsmeadow whose birthday occurs on 27th April, and whose anniversary occurs on 2nd May.

In loving memory of a loving son, brother, and uncle Billy Kelly late of 3 Ross Mhuire, Tramore, and formerly of 371 St. John’s Park whose 4th anniversary occurs on Saturday 29th April.

One night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.

For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to me, the other to the LORD. When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of my life.

This really bothered me and I questioned the LORD about it. “LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way, but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is

only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”

The LORD replied: “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

- Always loved and not forgotten by your loving Mother, your brother’s Gerard, Tommy, David, sister AnnMarie nephews John and Tony, nieces Sabrina, Heather, Jane sisters-in-law Mary, Jacqueline and Karen and brother-in-law Paul and grandnephew Nathan

Birthday Remembrance mary murray

Birthday remembrance of a wonderful Mam, Mary Murray late of 5 Andrew Street, Waterford, whose birthday occurs on the 27th of April. Masses offered.

No birthday card to send you, No gifts to show we care, All we have are memories And a special birthday prayer, So call her name dear Jesus And when she looks your way, Light a candle dear Jesus And wish her Happy Birthday On this her special day, Happy birthday Mam, We miss you so, Will those who think of her today A little prayer to Jesus say.

- Happy birthday Mam, from all your girls, Eileen, Ann, Debbie & Sharon.

No birthday cards to put on show, No candles on a cake to blow, Your special day we cannot share,

Our gift to you must be a prayer, If roses grow in heaven Lord, Pick a bunch for us, Place them in our Nanny’s arms, And tell her they’re from us.

- Happy Birthday Nan, from all your grandchildren I sent a dove to Heaven With a parcel on her wings, Be careful when you open it For it’s full of beautiful things, Inside a million kisses Wrapped up in a million hugs, To wish you Happy Birthday And send you all our love.

- Happy birthday from your great-grandchildren Abigail, Aaron, Craig and Aoife.

o holy st anthony Gentlest of saints, your love for God and charity for your neighbour, made you worthy while on earth to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought I implore of you to obtain for me my request....(Pause) The answer to my prayer may require a miracle, even so you are the saint of miracles.

O gentle and loving St Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, intercede for me and whisper my prayer into the ear of the sweet Infant Jesus who loved to linger in your arms and the gratitude of my heart will be yours. A.P.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, It broke our hearts to see you go, God only takes the best.

They say memories are golden, well, Well maybe that is true.

We never wanted memories, We only wanted you.

Your life was love & labour Your love for your family true, You did your best for all of us And we will always remember you.

We sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed & sore,, We did our duty to the end, ‘Til we could do no more, In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away, And though our hearts were breaking, We knew we could not stay.

Our lips cannot speak how much we loved you, Our hearts cannot tell that to say, But God only knows how we miss you, In our home that is lonely today.

Sadly missed by your loving wife Rebecca xxx You never said I’m leaving, You never said goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knew why, A million times I needed you, A million times I cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died, In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still, In our hearts I hold a place, That only you can fill, It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, As part of me went with you, The day God took you home.

- Love and miss you Dad from your daughter Sarahjane and

You held my hand when I was small, You caught me when I fell, The hero of my childhood And of latter years as well.

Every time I think of you, My heart just fills with pride, And though I will always miss you Sad, I know you’re by my side.

In laughter and in sorrow, In sunshine and in rain, I know you’re watching over me, Until we meet again.

- Missed by Eileen, Sophie and Jake.

If I could write a story, It would be the greatest ever told, Of a kind and loving father, Who had a heart of gold.

- From Rebecca, John and family God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you And whispered “come with me”.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best - Always in our thoughts and hearts Dad, love always, Martha and Der. It’s been the hardest thing to lose you You meant so much to me But you are in my heart Dad And that’s where you’ll always be I know that Heaven called you But I wish you could have stayed At least the memories I have of you They will never fade I did not wish to lose you But you did not go alone Because a part of me went with you When heaven called you home So just remember one thing We are not apart You’re with me in my memories And in my broken heart - Sadly missed from Jim, Yvette, Tara, Aimee and Emma Dad, No words were ever written, No verse will ever say, Ho much we miss and love you Dad, Today and every day, If memories bring us closer, Then we are never far apart, For you are always with us, And forever in our hearts.

- Missed and loved, John, Caroline and Sean.

Although you sleep in Heaven now You’re not that far away, My heart is full of memories And you’re with me every day.

You lived your life with meaning, And with a smile upon your face.

A world that was full of happiness Is now an empty place.

People say that only time Will heal a broken heart, But just like you and me, Grandad It has been torn apart.

I know you are at peace now And in a place where you are free, Meet me at the Pearly Gates When Heaven calls for me.

- From Shelly, Jamie, Tasmin, Adam, Tom and Tadgh 1 year, 12 months, 365 days, 8760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 3,153,600 seconds, Every day, Every night, Every time, I always miss you.

- Loved and missed beyond measure grandad, Daniel, Shane, Lisa Jayne, mason and baby Freya Grandad, Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, Missing you is the heartache, That never goes away.

- Love always, Melanie and Kevin.

What I’d give if I could say Hello John in the same old way To hear his voice And see him smile To sit with him And chat for a while So if your brother is still here Cherish him with care For you’ll never know the heartache Until you see his empty chair - Loved and sadly missed, your sister Theresa, brother in law Martin and family.

I would give the world if I could say, I’ll go and visit my brother today, To hear his voice, to see him smile, To sit and talk with him a while, To be together in the same old way, Would be my dearest wish today, Time slips by and life goes on, But from out hearts you are never gone.

- Always remembered, from Davy, Ann and family.
