Rutherglen | Published in: Rutherglen Reformer.

Change notice background image
Jack And EileenCONNORIn loving memory of the very best parents Jack and Eileen Connor (nee Kelly) of Rutherglen on their 75th wedding anniversary on Hogmanay. Passed away 1990 and 2010. Married at Wardlawhill Parish Church, Hamilton Road on 31st December 1948. Dearly loved mum and dad of Dorothy Ellen and the late John Douglas.

You taught us honesty, kindness, compassion, loyalty, bravery, the value of education, hard work and always doing our best.

You both served your town and your country during WW2 with the Forgotten Army in Burma and with the Auxiliary Fire Service in Rutherglen.

Remembering also my aunt Margaret Kelly of Victoria Street, trainer of Rutherglen Ladies FC, world champions in 1923. Passed away on Hogmanay 1996 in her 95th year.

"Till a' the seas gang dry my dear And the rocks melt wi' the sun And I will love thee still my dear Though the sands o' time have run."

Love always, Dorothy xxx

Happy Anniversary in Heaven mum and dad. Miss you every day. You have Douglas there with you now and all the family.

I am still flying the flag for Rutherglen and have an article about you both and Douglas in the Glasgow Times (was the Evening Times ) today and about Francie & Josie and the Rev I M Jolly.

I have lovely flowers for you , red roses and stargazer lillies and keeping all the old traditions.

I have lovely friends and doing my best to keep going. If I get to one second past midnight tonight I will be going into my tenth year cancer free - a miracle-still alive in 2025.

It's hard without all of you. I will light a candle and sing a song for you at 5pm as always. Dad's song for you Mum "Would You Believe Me, I Love You So."

Remembering especially your Silver Wedding, Ruby Wedding and the Millenium when we danced the conga up and down Stonelaw Road, wearing our tiaras mum and with our glasses of Babycham!

What else can I say but Love Always, We'll Meet Again.

Your" One In A Million" daughter Dorothyxxx

I was at a ceilidh at Govan Town Hall till 1.30 this morning. In Paris with Gene Kelly later then at the New Year's Day concert in Vienna (remember that mum?) Then the racing. Hoping to get a winner like I did on my birthday after I dreamnt about a black horse. The last DVD Douglas bought me was Dream Horse and it arrived after he was gone. Will be singin' ('n' dancin) in the rain in a wee while.
All without leaving the house! Fab. A rerr terr at the Ne'erday!

Love always, your Dorothyxxx
