Memories of Dorothy Dunne

dublin

Bill Dunne Oct 25, 2010

I remember this day because we went to Dublin 2 yrs running during the Dublin City Marathon.We took in Shows and a meal and drinks afterwards.The last trip I decided to surprise you and booked a return flight from Shannon.The flight was cancelled,We had a 4 hr delay.The Hotel was a hole and the hotel band was all ours except for 2 other couples.When we got back to Shannon our bags were missing,How do you lose luggage between Dublin and Shannon ??.You werent very impressed with me but we had a right good laugh over it which is what I loved about you.As I write this the only sound is a clock ticking away and every second is a lifetime without you.Bill

Birthdays

Bill Dunne Oct 03, 2010

I havnt been on this site to celebrate our birthdays.I took you a nice bunch of flowers but knowing me i got flowers that grew in the garden anyway.i work night shifts now which help in getting away from our lonely house.I just cannot get it into my head you had to leave us and wont come back.How long does this terrible knot in my stomach continue for.I think about you every few hours of every day,you might say, "oh by god ,its every few hours now,last month it was every hour".ha ha.I love you Dor and theres nothing that can prove our love only memories.xxx

Happy Birthday Mom

Sarah Sep 24, 2010

You would have been 58 yesterday.So unfair that you are not here to celebrate it.(Not that you probably would have celebrated it!).Miss you everyday.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

Mark Morrisroe Sep 23, 2010

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the star shine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
I am the dew-flecked grass at dawn.
Where tranquil oceans meet the land,
I am the footprints in the sand.

When you wake up to morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush.
To guide you through the weary day,
I am still here; I'll always stay.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die...

Our wedding Anniversary today.Sept 8 2010.

Bill Dunne Sep 08, 2010

Hi Pet,We would be married 37yrs today if you were given the good health you deserved.I love and miss you so very much.I took you a nice rose the other day but knowing me its probably an indoor plant,you could have a laugh at me if I could only have you back.All I have left of you is four great kids which is a bonus and a great reminder of our long friendship together.Even today the hurt is terrible but I have to go on Im told,I will visit you now, and a knot will tighten in my stomach when I see your headstone.Dont worry I will never ever forget you,Bill xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just Because

Eileen Grant Aug 17, 2010

Just because I no longer stand in front of your eyes,
doesn't mean you can't see me.
Close them, I am there.

Just because I no longer answer when you call my name,
doesn't mean you can't hear me.
Speak softly, listen carefully,
There is my voice.

Just because I can no longer touch your hand,
doesn't mean you can't feel me.
Hold on to another,
my arms are there.

Just because I am no longer there to show you that I love you,
doesn't mean my love is gone.
Place your hand on your heart, feel its beat.
I am there.

Just because .................................x

Will never forget your kindness

Richard Dunne Aug 12, 2010

Rich here Dor... Was thinking of you this morning, back to old times, I just have this constant image of your kind smiling face & your lovely smile. Everytime I see a colourful garden or flower bed it instantly reminds me of you. It makes me smile when I see them as I know you would love the sight of them also. I guess its just another way of knowing that you are always with us & most definitely always in our hearts ...Rich x

My memory

Bill Dunne Jul 23, 2010

Me again Dor,another lovely memory I have is when we were in Paris and we had been all around the City looking at Historical stuff and then we went to the "Palace of Versailles"it was great,But then we went down those magnificent gardens and all of a sudden this beautiful 17thCentury music started up and the fountains came alive,we looked at each other and started laughing and laughed for ages,it was so beautiful we could not believe it.When we came home Sarah bought us a CD of Versailles period music,lovely.You were a great travelling companion,Talk later Pet,Bill xx

The Rose Beyond the Wall

Eileen Grant Jul 23, 2010

A rose once grew where all could see -sheltered beside a garden wall
and as the days passed swiftly by it spread its branches straight and tall

One day a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide - the rose bent gently towards its warmth
Then passed beyond to the other side

Now you who deeply feel its loss, be comforted - the rose blooms there - Its beauty even greater now
Nurtured by God's own loving care

Sarah (Jul 23, 2010)

Thats lovely.x

Contoniastor Pendula

Jonathan Dunne Jul 10, 2010

Mom, I love you. I will never forget that last night I spent with you. Such a strange strange night. Though I felt utterly devastated and completely useless sitting next you, I'm happy now that we shared that time together cos I wasn't always around, was I? You'll be happy to know that Maia can pick you out in every photo and says 'Nana' and I won't let her forget you. I've become a green-fingers in the garden lately and who else would I have gotten that from? Contoniastor Pendula ... Pirilias Piranas. Well I've said my piece for now, who knows if this'll get to you, feels like sending Santa my letter ... but I know that I always got what I asked for, so maybe... Thanks.

My memory

Bill Dunne Jul 07, 2010

Hi Doff,i think of you every day and night.i cried again yesterday,the hurt is just as strong today as it was in May 2009.I cant be going round with a long sad face all the time but thats really what I want to do.It takes effort to pretend.The dreaded job in the bathroom has turned out lovely,it almost drove me over the edge.I seem to want to be doing stuff all the time,I suppose it helps me.I am taking all the lads to a Michael Buble concert for my Birthday,Jon and Ruth are flying in for it,I often play his CD but the Bastard sings some very lonesome songs,I hope I dont babble during the concert,Ha.I hope you can have a laugh at me every now and then.My life has no direction now but the lads are great,you did a great job with themOur small bungelow is now a very large empty cave without you,.We will talk again soon,Bill xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My Memory

Mike and Mary May 22, 2010

I suppose being 40 miles away is no excuse for not knowing you better Doff but the one good thing your illness did was brought us really close. Mary and myself really looked forward to those trips up to see you and Bill, and those ever loving words, (and how are you Mike?) always the listener, always caring about others. My most abiding memoty of you Doff is maybe one year into your bastard disease, Billy rang me you were on your way to Limerick for some flowers, Bill said you wanted to meet me for a few minutes, at the time I was working in Dooradoyle, 15 minutes later you arrived. I will always remember how well you looked that day with your new wig, thanking me for going to Rome with Bill, and giving me a €50 voucher for Shaws, months later I bought a lovely shirt with it, forever reminding me of the lovely woman you really were. I miss you Doff. I suppose you are up there in your heavenly garden having a good laugh at us all. Leave a few weeds for me. See you soon Sis. Love you always - Mike and Mary
