(On the grey cross)

In loving memory of
William Lewis Reilly
who died on the 4th December 2001
in a tragic accident with his two pals
Rest In Peace
Gone from our home that smiling face
The cheerful happy ways
That won so many friends

In bygone happy days
Lonely is the home without you
Life is not the same
All the world would be like heaven
If we could have you back again
We sat beside your bedside
Our hearts were crushed and sore
We did our duty to the end
Till we could do no more
In tears we watched you sinking
We watched you fade away
And, though our hearts were breaking,
We knew you could not stay
You left behind some aching hearts
That loved you most sincere
We never shall and never will
Forget we love you Lewis
(On the white cross)

In loving memory of
a dear son, brother & friend
Paddy Kiely
who died on 30th November 2001
aged 19 years
To hear your voice and see you smile
To sit and talk with you awhile
To be with you in the same old way
Would be our dearest wish today


Paddy O'Reilly
who died on 30th November 2001
aged 17 years
Out of our lives you may be gone
But in our hearts you still live on


Three friends gone to Heaven together.
Sadly missed by your Fathers, Mothers, Brothers, Sisters and Family


30th November 2001 was a Friday
4th December 2001 was a Tuesday
