GEORGE BANNISTER
will take place on
Sunday April 26th at 12noon mass in The Holy Family Church, Dundalk.

Afterglow
I’d like the memory of me,
To be a happy one,
I’d like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when I’m done.
I’d like to leave an echo
Whispering softly
Down the ways,
Of happy times and
Laughing times
And bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of
Those who grieve,
To dry before the sun
Of happy memories that
I leave when life is done.

Much loved and sadly missed every day by your daughter Jennifer, granddaughter Michaela, sister's Helen & Karen, brother-in-law Bill, niece Rachel and nephew Aaron, his dear friends Paula, Tracey and Eddie, relatives, wonderful neighbours, and a wide circle of friends.
