McKernan Veronica – 2nd Anniversary - who died on 5th February 2024
In Loving memory of my Godmother, Aunt, Great Aunt and
Great Great Aunt
One year ago, I lost you as you gained your wings
My heart just broke in two
I wish you could have stayed with me
But Heaven needed you more.
You left me with the memories
And I love your dearly still
No matter how much time goes by
You know I always will
You were a very special Godmother
With kindness in your heart
And the love we had together
Grows stronger now we’re apart
I know I cannot bring you back
Although I wish it every day
But a piece of me went with you
The day you went away
Padre Pio Pray for her
Always loved and sadly missed
your Godson Kieran,
Nieces and nephews,
Great Nieces, Great Nephews and Great Great Niece.
Mass will be at The Holy Rosary Church, Draperstown.
on Friday 13 th February 2026 @ 7.30 pm for Veronica’s 2 nd Anniversary and
Monica and Bernadette’s months mind mass as the three sisters were always
together when living now they are together again in death,
