Faithful friends sustain us
When life's dark shadows fall
Their words of hope encourage
Make us feel ten feet tall.
Faithful friends are near us
When life is full of woe
It's then they take us by the hand
To paths that we should go.
Faithful friends are with us
No matter where we roam
They come with the good Lord's blessing
And lead us safely home.
n my heart for ever and always
Love
as always,
Janet

I thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
I think of you in silence.
I often speak your name.
Now all I have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake. With which I’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
I have you in our heart.
Love as always
Janet

The Hardest Thing In Life To Bear Is To Want Your Son And He's Not There, So Forgive Us Lord If We Weep For A Son We Loved And Longed To Keep, The Sorrow We Feel We Can't Explain The Ache In Our Hearts Will Long Remain.

Brian Would Be 49 Years Old Today
Dear Brother Your Memory
Will Never Fade
My dear Brother now that you are gone
You're no longer here to share
The bond we had together
A bond of love and care.
Yet, somehow something tells me
You are watching over me -
Now that from worldly cares
You Are Finally Free
I miss you so very much,
And my tears I cannot hide
Yet within my heart, I feel
You are always by my side.
Ever since you went away
Life has never been the same
Yet, it comforts me to know
That one day we'll meet again.
Happy 49th birthday Brian love & miss you so much
Carole
For Brian On His Birthday
We can not reach
out to comfort you, or take you by the hand.
The precious dreams we held, never went the way we planned.
So every day we say a little prayer, in hopes that you will hear.
We tell you how much we miss you, and show how much we care.
We reflect upon memories of you, so that we are not so far apart.
Although you are not here with us, we can feel you in our heart.
As the weeks, months and years go by, it darkens our
today.
But we always remember that you are just a thought away.
The river of tears is always there, and it falls like the rain.
It never goes away, the heartache, the sorrow, the pain.
Our hearts still ache, as our love for you we can not hide.
The sorrow still shows, of the love we hold so deep inside.
The pain that's in our hearts, is so very heavy to hold.
So we hold on to our memories of you, like treasures of gold.
Always in my heart and my memory
Love as always
Janet
Brian Walsh, a wonderful thoughtful kind man, who's last
eighteen months of life were filled with so much pain and heartache
Brian Patrick Walsh.
A devoted dad to Paul, Brian, Darren, and Gemma
A Loving Caring Son To Frank and Nora
A Loving Brother To Dermot, Francis, Carole, and Anthony,
Not one day has passed since that terrible morning of July 28th that all of us who knew and loved Brian have not wept tears of sorrow, each of us were privileged to be a part of Brian's life, and all of us are left with a terrible feeing of sadness and loss, Brian may no longer be here with us but he will never be far from our hearts and thoughts.
We love and miss you Brian.
Footprints in the sand
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
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 son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
Around twelve months ago Brian was taken into
hospital he had suffered an emotional breakdown due to the collapse of his
marriage he was terribly poorly some thought he was just seeking attention, well he wasn't, he was in hospital for a few days, when he returned home
I rang him to ask how he was feeling and to tell him that he needed to move on
in life. our conversation got somewhat emotional then for the very first
time in my life, I told my brother Brian that I loved him and he replied the
same to me, I look back on that conversation with my brother as a special moment
in my life,
The chances are that if you are looking at
these pages you also will have known Brian so will have your own memories of
him.
Brian like ripples in the Ocean no one can ever know where our journey through life may end, for you my dear brother your own journey which was far too short, ended on that tragic morning in July, I love and miss Brian much more than I could ever express in these words.
Dermot
For My Dad
Together,
we mourn and try to understand
How such a Beautiful, Devoted Man, could be taken into God’s hands.
There maybe no answers and it doesn’t seem fair,
But God is listening, he is listening to our prayers
From the day we were all born, and as time ticked away.
You remained there and remain here until this day.
In your presence, we grew,
and we had the privilege to have a father
like you
Whom, we adored and loved, each and every single day
And we shared so many happy memories that will never be taken away.
You worked hard for your family and gave so much Love
And the pride for your family, lives in your soul above
Your eyes showed Passion, Fire and Love
And, your hands held Ours, Strong, and One day will lift us above.
You had confidence that Shone, like a Light that never died,
And you passed this to your children, Strong, Vibrant, and Full of Pride
But without you, we feel Lost, Robbed and Curse
Without you, life seems to have no worth
But our Love for you will never ever die
And your memory lives on, through till the end of time.
Life may continue but it will never be the same,
Because we have lost that someone, that we can not explain.
There are no words to decide, how we feel about you
Only life can lead us through a journey to you.
Today the reality hits, that you are gone
But we will continue Life on a Journey as one
We hold each others hands, as you did when we were small
To lead us through Life, Strong, Loving and never Wrong!
When we think about you, we cannot but Smile,
Because of all the happy memories that grow mile by mile
Those memories will stay, as we all grow old
As we walk through Life ever so Bold,
So, we now lead ourselves into a journey unknown
But you will always be in our Hearts,
To
Have, and to Hold…(Rest In Peace Dad) XXX

A Sister's Love is Infinite and Unconditional
Brian since the day you left us Its been so hard for me to find words
that can tell the pain and emptiness I feel inside,
Forever will you
live on, in my heart and mind
Forever will you live in my thoughts and never die
And until that day, when we shall meet again,
I'll
continue to cherish all my memories of you.
Carole
To
My Brother Brian
You
were always there for me, whenever I needed you I could pick up the phone
anytime day or night and you would come to help me with whatever problems I had,
if I needed to be picked up from anywhere (usually the pub) you would come and
get me, there where many times when we would argue like all Brothers do but at
the end of the day it did not matter to either of us because of our strong
family bond, I loved you Brian and I know that you loved me I just wish that you
were still here with me so I could tell you so in person brother I love you
Bri
the morning you died my heart collapsed, I was the last person to speak to you
and God forgive me I had some idea of what was going to happen, but I knew
that I could not prevent you from ending your life on that Friday morning, the
moment your heart stopped and you died part of my own heart died with you,
I felt so terribly helpless, the pain of witnessing the last moments of your
life dear brother will haunt both me and our Dad for the remainder of our lives, but
Brian the special times and the bond we shared as only brothers can, will remain
with me until the day that I die, you have left us all so empty, the hurting
just goes on and on but one thing will never change Bri, I will always love you,
Your brother
Anthony.
Brian, both myself and Dermot know that your spirit is free, your watching, listening, and remembering all the happy times in life, you are so missed by all who cared about you, even though we may not have seen as much of you as we would have liked to in recent times, we knew that you were never to far away, our Lee talks of you regularly, he still remembers the time all those years ago, when you and him used to have snowball fights, and how you would bring your big Datac truck around to our house and lift him in to the drivers seat where he would sit and pretend to drive all over the world.
I remember you as a bloke who would work eighteen hours a day to do the best he could for his wife and kids, you were for your family the grafter, the provider, the protector, the rock, and always so much the caring joker, who always had time for my disabled son, and for that I thank you, it’s so difficult to understand why you chose to end your life, I knew of the breakdown of your marriage and knew of the reason for it, I knew of the anguish and despair that had engulfed you, but I don’t believe any of us knew just how traumatically it had affected you, but believe me Brian the one that had forsaken you will now be feeling the same emptiness and loneliness that for so long you had felt, you are irreplaceable and I believe everybody is now aware of that, I hope and pray that you have now found the peace you so richly deserve you were a good man who is greatly missed

This Beautiful Poem Was Sent To Me By A Great Friend Of Brian's
Thank You So Much Janet,
A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and
touches your heart.
For
Brian Walsh My friend since 1974 - 2006
Futures
unfold and the time goes by so fast.
I never counted the miles between us.
Because they didn’t matter much at all.
I counted all the memories we shared.
The big ones and the small.
I never thought that I would find
A friend so great a friend so kind
Shared our secrets and our fears
Shared our joys and some tears
Never judging, always knowing
How we felt as we were growing
Many years have come and past
Friends like us were made to last
----------------------------------------
Thank You For Caring, Janet,
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad.
The thought of all the things we shared, and all the fun we had.
And every time I think of you, you will be there in my heart.
Not even the distance between us could keep us far apart.
There’s an ocean of tears that I have wept for you.
Wish you were still here so I wouldn’t be so blue.
As I brave the bitter grief and try to understand.
The angels came for you and took you by the hand.
You were so faithful, so trusting and so true.
God said, “This is eternity, and all I've promised you.
For you have been forgiven and now at last you're
free
free
So come and take my hand and live in peace with me”.
I asked the Lord to bless you, and pray for you each day.
To guide you and protect you, as you go along your way.
His love is always with you, and his promises are true.
When we give him all our faith, he's sure to see it through.
I know the road you traveled on seemed difficult at best.
Just remember were here praying and God will do the rest.
Missing you always
Janet
Well Brian this is our second Christmas
without you, missing you more than ever
you are a Grandad now, how proud
& delighted you would be, Darren has a baby
son Oscar,
I know you would shower Oscar
with so much love and tenderness,
just as you did on your own children, I'm sure as Oscar grows
Darren will tell him what a wonderful Grandad you would have been. In so many
ways Darren is just like you, a hard working man who will always put his family
above all else, people say that time is a great healer, but its a myth, it
isn't true for I know I miss you more with each passing day,
we should be getting older together
sharing our moans groans aches &
pains with
each other, sadly it can no longer be
love you Brian.
Dermot
Below is a Christmas message to Brian from Janet
but I' am sure Janet would not mind me saying that her words express how we all feel
Thank You Janet
Brian My Christmas card I write to you.
You will never be forgotten
Cause this pain, I cannot hide
In memory, I see you
A million tears, I’ve cried.
The tender thoughts of you
Are in my memory
Your loving smile, so precious
Will always be with me.
You are a special angel
God wrapped you in His care
And took you off to heaven
to live with Him, up there.
But often, I still see you
Each and every day
And long so much to tell you
All the things I never got to say.
Like the red rose a symbol of love
I know you see lots from up above
Love as always
Janet
Below is a Poem for Brian, From Janet, A Lady Who Always Loved Him,
Memories of Brian
I recall the first time I saw you,
teenagers we both would be,
Your hair was wild, cigarette in hand and a
walk of certainty.
Strong, Loving and Caring you stood up to all
that mattered.
Then one day I went away my whole life now was shattered.
My heart was breaking as I walked up to your garden gate.
I wanted so much stay with you, hoping I
could change fate.
I remember those words and promises that we said would always be.
The words you spoke "there is always something there to remind me".
You would always walk
me home and made sure I got in by ten.
We would meet me after school and
write on my books in pen.
We would talk for hours as we rode the bus all
over the town.
You always seemed to say the nicest things when I was feeling down.
As we remained friends over the years never did I imagine so many tears.
If only I could turn back the hands of time, I'd turn
them back many years.
If hope and love could bring you back I know you would be here in a
instant.
So now I gaze at the heavens above and visit with you at a distance.
Janet
