Mr Oisín Chambers

Oisín Chambers - 4th February 2026 (Age 28) - While travelling abroad.

Precious Son, Cherished Nephew and Cousin.

I will lend you, for a little time, A child of mine, He said,
For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead,

He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief.
You'll have his lovely memories, as solace for your grief,
I've looked the wide world over, in search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take him home again?

You'll shelter him with tenderness, and love him while you may,
And for the happiness you've known, forever grateful stay,
But should the Angels call for him, much sooner than you planned,
You'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and I'll help you understand.

Will forever be loved and always missed by Mother Ruth and her partner Pat and all those whose hearts Oisín truly touched.

Further arrangements to follow.
