To the 'craziest' and
most kind hearted
sister......
A beautiful rose was
plucked amongst our
midst 4 years ago. Even
though we never spent
most of our years
together, I am truly
thankful to God that I
got to share the
last few months of your
life with you.....and
you still made us
laugh!!!
May you rest in
Eternal Peace.

While many forgot about
you soon after your

sorely missed by your

No matter how many years
go by (27 long years),
you will always be dear
and close to our hearts

Continue to rest in
peace!

Mai Hand (nee
Birch) |
 |
Born
11th
May,
1929
My mum,
Mai (who
was
christened
Mary
Josephine
Birch,
but
always
called
Mai)
lived
for most
of her
married
life in
Langley,
having
moved
over to
the UK
on her
marriage
to Eamon
Hand in
1960.
She grew
up in
Wicklow,
County
Ireland
and
trained
as a
nurse
before
she
moved to
England.
All her
life was
devoted
to
children
-
whether
her own,
her
nieces
and
nephews,
or the
many she
took
care of
in her
work.
Mai and
Eamon
had 6
children
- who
all grew
up in
Jefferson
Close,
Langley.
|
They moved into
their brand new home
in 1964 with myself
(Elaine), Paul and
Joyce. They
were followed by
Teresa, Carmel and
Ray. We all started
our education at
Holy Family School,
and then either St Bernards, St Jospehs
or Langlewood - and
mum saw 3 of her
girls go off to
university to pursue
their dreams of
being teachers.
Mum was a sociable
animal - she loved
being out with the
UCM, going to
Lourdes with them,
going to her bingo
with her friends, or
whirling around the
dance floor with Dad
at St Anne's Hall on
a Sunday night.
She was rarely
without a cigarette
in her hand, or a
smile on her face
and she had a
wonderful laugh -
tipping her head
back and letting out
her giggles!
Although she lived
here in England her
love of her family
in Ireland - her
brothers and
sisters, neices and
nephews, and our
Granny - never
stopped and she was
frequently on the
Holyhead train from
Euston and the
Sealink service over
to Dublin. She
loved playing a tune
on the mouth organ,
or the accordion,
and loved singing -
whenever, wherever
she was.
She was a great mum
- hard working, as
you have to be when
you have 6 children
to look after.
My favourite
memories are of our
holidays to Ireland
with her and Dad,
off with 2
suitcases, 6
children, and a
packed lunch, for
the long journey
from Langley to
Dublin, where we'd
then be put up by
relatives, or stay
in a caravan by the
sea, for a couple of
weeks. None of
us ever really
wanted to come home.
Mum and Dad gave us
a love of Ireland
and our Irish family
that has remained
with us.
In 1988 Mum's first
grandson was born -
my son. I
named him Danny,
after the lilting
Irish song and she
loved him - and
subsequently all of
her grandchildren,
with a passion.
She had the time to
spoil them, to treat
them to all the
things grannies can,
to play with them,
make a mess with
them, paddle in
their pools with
them, and just loved
them so much it was
plain for all to
see. Her
grandchildren were
her "little pets".
All of them - all 14
as there are now -
love her and miss
her. Even
those who never met
her as she had
passed away before
they were born, know
her and have heard
all about her.
Several of them have
inherited her love
of music, and when
we got together to
remember the 10th
anniversary of her
passing in 2007, it
was just fantastic
to see the little
ones playing
guitars, flutes,
singing, dancing,
and being just as
she would have
wanted.
We
all miss her every
day, every moment of
every day. I'll
never stop wishing I
could pick the phone
up and have another
chat with her, and
when something
exciting happens I
still, despite the
10 year gap, often
think to give her a
ring.
Her
influence on our
family is there
every day. She
was a wonderful
mother. She
was a great friend.
She helped her
daughters to be good
mothers, and one day
hopefully we will
also follow in her
footsteps and spoil
and love our
grandchildren just
as she did her own.
We wish she'd
had longer with us,
but we know, one
day, we will all be
together again.
In the meantime Mum,
keep your guiding
hand on us, and
watch your beautiful
grandchildren
smiling, playing
music, singing,
laughing and loving,
and know that a
little part of you
lives on in them and
you will never be
forgotten.

| For my Wife
Father in heaven, I have lost my wife.
My Priceless pearl, my treasure in life.
She was my all, my future here.
My joy, my life, my pride so dear.
I pray to you in bitter sorrow:
Give her, Lord, a sweet tomorrow.
To me she was, you know, the best.
Please grant her, Lord, eternal rest.
You are Our Father, that is true.
Please give her Lord, a home with you.
Your Son, I know, you also lost,
To pay for sins - a terrible cost.
You understand this pain I feel,
As I know before you kneel.
And plead to you with all my might
That in your heaven we'll reunite.
Amen |

Bernard Joseph Healy, born 25th April 1932, died 27th June 2008.
Husband to Helen, father to Ann, Margaret, Bernard, Teresa and Helen and Grandad to Stephen, Kevin, Joe, Lizzie, Katie, Robert, Lorna, Luke, Hannah and Adam. Bernard was a lovely gentle family man, who worked as an aircraft engineer for Aer Lingus at Heathrow. He enjoyed his retirement and especially his game of golf where he had a very decent 9 handicap. |
|
He was always there for his family with words of advice and an ear to listen to anything that was going on in his family lives and "mister fix it" for anything that broke. Bernard is missed dreadfully by his family and the gap in our lives seems to be getting greater with time passing. Bernard was much loved by his family but we know that he is now with our Father in Heaven and we will meet with him again some day. The Healy Family |

2007 :
Sr. Kathleen
Hart |
|
|
Sr Kathleen Hart
was born in
Dublin, Ireland
on 30 July,1925.
She came from a
loving united
family steeped
in faith. Before
entering the
Congregation in
Rome, Kathleen
was an active
member of the
Legion of Mary
when early in
1950, she met Fr
Renato Simoni, a
Pauline priest,
who spoke to her
at length about
Fr James
Alberione, the
Pauline Family
and the
Daughters of St
Paul.
Together with Sr
Mary Connell fsp
and Sr Muriel
Fetherston,
Pious Disciple
of the Divine
Master, they
left Ireland in
September 1950
to join the
Daughters of St
Paul in Rome.
After stopping
over for a brief
stay in London
at the House of
the Society of
St Paul, then in
Paris in the
community of the
Pious Disciples
and at Alba
where they had
their first
contact with the
Daughters of St
Paul. Kathleen
joined the
Congregation in
Rome on the 30th
September 1950. |
|
|
Like
those who travelled with her
on that first journey,
Kathleen had no idea where
she was going. She did not
see the road ahead. She had
profound faith, a sense of
mission and she trusted
totally in God.
A gentle
person, a prayerful sister
and a loyalty to God and to
her family were some of her
characteristics. During the
first days in Rome she was
introduced to Don Alberione
who welcomed her and her
companions and encouraged
them to continue the journey
to holiness and according to
the will of God.
All the
words had to be translated
as not one member of the
small initial group had a
word of Italian.
Sr
Kathleen made her first
profession on 19 March,
1953, in the Crypt of Regina
Apostolorum. A few months
later she was “sent on
mission to the United
States” where she spent 28
years as a “propagandist”
first in Boston and later
working in the Book Centres
of the Daughters of St Paul
in the U.S.A. She was
superior in the community of
Miami. She loved “the
apostolate” and for many
years after her return to
England she continued to
remember with nostalgia the
years spent at the service
of the Church in the
American Province. While in
America, her mother died and
Sr Kathleen was always sorry
that she did not have the
opportunity to say her last
good-byes personally to her.
Kathleen returned to England
on 26 April 1981 and was,
for some time assigned to
the Glasgow community.
Later, she joined the
Kensington community and
worked in the Dispatch
Department. She is well
remembered by the sisters
and members of staff for her
prayerful spirit, charitable
attitude, precision in her
work. Every place had to be
kept tidy and in order for
the Glory of God.
She was
very happy to join her
co-novices for the
celebration of her Golden
Jubilee in Fatima and in
Rome in March 2003.
Shortly afterwards,
Alzheimer’s disease which
had already struck her,
continued to have a
debilitating effect on Sr
Kathleen and due to her
declining health she was
transferred to our community
at Casa Divina Provvidenza,
Alba, where she was lovingly
taken care of.
She
suffered some minor strokes
and in July 2007, she was
taken by ambulance to Albano
where she died on
Friday 7 September.
Sr
Kathleen believed that it
was in the Congregation and
in community that the grace
of God awaited her. She
prayerfully embraced God’s
will at all times and
responded to it with a great
sense of gratitude. The
words most often on her lips
were “Thank you”.
In the
latter months Sr Kathleen
had a great desire to “go
home to her mother”.
Her
prayer has now been granted
and we believe that she is
enjoying to the full
together with her family,
friends and members of the
Daughters of St Paul with
whom she lived and worked
and gone before her, the
fullness of grace in God’s
presence. : Sr Mary Connell |

was easy

December, 23rd, 2003 : Antoni Stowi |
 |
Antoni Paul Slowi was born in Azucewo in Poland on 16th October 1914. He was one of nine children. He came to England in 1946 with the 1st Carpathian Sapers Company of the Polish Army. In 1947 he joined the Polish Resettlement Corp. and he was discharge from the army in 1949. I will not tell you now the story of his life, but want to share with you the things that he will be remembered for.
Firstly, Tony was a devoted and loving husband to Adele for 49 years. |
Adele and
Tony married
on 6th
November
1954. He has
not left
Adele but
will be with
her always
in her
heart.
Tony was an
uncle and
great uncle.
He dearly
loved all
his family -
in England,
Italy and
Poland.
Tony was a
devout
Catholic and
because of
this was
often chosen
by his many
friends to
be Godfather
to their
children. He
gladly
accepted
this
responsibility
and never
forgot his
Godchildren.
Tony had
many friends
- friends
that he made
in the army,
at work, at
church and
in Iver, and
he is sadly
missed.
Tony always
had time to
help others,
and time to
share with
his family,
Godchildren
and friends.
He was a
generous,
loving and
honest man,
barber to
many, and
exceptional
gardener.
Tony died on
23rd
December
2003.
