About half-way between Waterford and New Ross.
Dearest Michelle
Why you had to leave us we will never know
Our lives are so empty without you
Our hearts are full of sadness
We miss all the enjoyment and laughter
you gave us in your short life
Always remembered with much love and affection
Your heartbroken Mam, Dan, Paudie and Una

Adam
... Przez bezkres świata gnaŀ śmiało
przed siebie nie bacząc na kruchą
rzeczywistość, a gdy świat stał sie
dla Niego za mały, dosiadŀ cieżką
maszyne i dociskając ją lekko
kolanami szepnąŀ by Mu zaufaŀa.
Tworzyli już jedność. Przeciwstawiając
się kroplą deszczu wyruszył w
niekończącą się podróż ...
Ku pamięci Adamowi
(…Through the expanse of the world he rushed daringly regardless of the fragile reality, and when the world became too small for him, he mounted a heavy machine and while pressing it lightly with his knees he whispered ‘trust me’. They now became unity. Withstanding the drops of rain, he set off for an endless journey…
in memory of Adam)
21st August 2007 was a Tuesday |
Adam's memorial is under the bush just above his potrait in this composite photo; Michelle Maher's memorial is beside the wooden fence and close to the pole across the road.
