2nd Anniversary

In loving memory of our much loved, treasured and devoted mum, grandmother and mother in law Lily, whose second anniversary occurs 14th September 2025.

God bless you Mum and Granny - we love and miss you so much.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary and St Anthony Pray for her.

Always remembered by son Daniel, daughter Michelle son in law Paul and granddaughter's Nicole and Áinexx

Also remembering our Daddy, Grandad Danny and father in law at this time. May they both rest in peace.

In Loving Memory of Dylan Deery - 2nd Anniversary - 12th September 2025

Two years have passed, and not a day goes by that we don’t feel the emptiness your absence has left behind.

You were a devoted son, twin, brother, uncle, and a loving father to Daìrsì, Logàn & Aaliyàh — your legacy lives on through the love you gave so deeply and the lives you helped shape.
Your strength, your kindness, your laughter, and your presence are missed more than words can ever express.

Though you may no longer walk beside us, you are with us in every memory, every moment, and every heartbeat.

We miss you, Dylan. Always and forever.
