ELAINE, SARA, MIKAELA, MACKENZIE: An Irish Funeral Prayer Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Everything remains as it was. The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no sorrow in your tone. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again. NIALL AND GALE BUTT CARBONEAR Source: derived from a sermon written by Henry Scott Holland and delivered in St. Paul's (London) on 15 May 1910, at which time the body of King Edward VII was lying in state at Westminster. Although not originally derived from Irish writings, versions of this sermon have been used at many Irish and Catholic funerals over the years.

Elaine and girls: As you can well imagine, Monday morning was a hard one on the staff at the Interfaith Home, after hearing of Russ's passing. Russ grew on all of us who cared for him. He'd laugh at our silly jokes (that quite often weren't that funny), and he'd put up with our mindless chatter for hours on end. Although there were challenges, I think for the most part,they were met head on. Through Russ's patience we all learned to prevail and kind of became his extended family. We mourn with you, for we,too, have lost a hero! God Bless you all, and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
