We Will Take Comfort Forever In The Light of Your "Afterglow"
"I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is 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."
She has been reunited with the love of her life, Patrick Scarff (April 15, 2014), husband and friend of 48 years.
Born in County Cork, Ireland, on May 27, 1942, cherished daughter of Patrick Kearney and Margaret O'Callaghan.
