O'ROURKE

James Joseph

(Manx) In loving memory of my dear Father. We were struggling to come to terms with our loss with no words to express the emotions we are feeling.

We found this poem which we feel sums up what we know you would have wanted.

It made us cry but gives us peace in equal measure.

Go in peace Dad and be with Mom now and forever. Weep not for me Weep not for me though I have gone into that gentle night, grieve if you will but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight, I am at peace, my soul's at rest, there is no need for tears, for with your love I was so blessed for all those many years. There is no pain, I suffer not, the fear is now all gone, put now these things out of your thoughts, in your memory I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath, remember not the strife, please do not dwell upon my death but celebrate my life.

Love and respect always. Son Jimmy (Jimbo), Daughter-in-law Judy, Grandchildren Dominic, Zoe, Eve, Great-Grandchildren James, Lily, Penny, Jacob. X X X
