The obituary notice of Doreen MCDONOUGH

You can only have one mother patient kind and true
No other friend in all the world will be the same to you
When other friends forsake you, to mother you will return
For all her loving kindness, she asks nothing in return
As we look upon her picture, sweet memories we recall
Of a face so full of sunshine, and a smile for one and all
Sweet Jesus, take this message, to our dear mother up above
Tell her how we miss her, and give her all our love

One of my happiest memories of my favourite cousin, Doreen is her care for me as an only child whose parents both worked. She would keep a watchful eye on me and even took me to church occasionally. Despite being thrown out by the vicar of St Chads, Everton for messing about. Doreen must have done something as twelve years later I went again. Now fifty years later I’m a retired canon of the church!! She was an inspiration of loving care and such good fun . So sorry not to be with you all for the funeral but will be thinking of you all and will get to see you later in the year.

Treasured Memories of a wonderful Aunt.
Peace and Love Auntie Do
