Jeremy’s bursary will be presented Wednesday May 6th - slightly later than the planned May 1st, his birthday.. This was to allow for the Punchestown festivities. We know Jeremy wouldn’t want the young people to miss out on the fun!
Looking forward to meeting the wonderful students teachers and staff of Cross and Passion College and all involved in Jeremy’s bursary. Thanks to all who support and make donations allowing this to happen in memory of our beloved Jeremy.

My three beautiful babies I have been so blessed with. One of my favourite pictures we had taken in 2008 at a photo shoot,
I remember plaiting Edie’s hair doing her bows & clips
I remember Jeremy ‘doing’ his hair
I remember William just going with the flow as a contented newborn.
I remember a lovely lunch after with my babies ❤️
I remember that day with love kindness and patience ❤️❤️.

For those who can no longer be with us this Christmas, you are deeply missed and forever remembered in our hearts.

Remembered at Christmas

Christmas is a season wrapped in light, memory, and longing. While the world speaks loudly of joy, music, and gatherings, there is a quieter truth many carry in their hearts: someone is missing. A chair remains empty. A familiar voice does not join the laughter. A presence once constant is now held only in memory.

For those who can no longer be with us this Christmas, love does not disappear with absence. It transforms. It settles into the deeper places of the heart, where memory and gratitude coexist with grief. Their stories still shape us. Their laughter still echoes. Their influence continues in the way we love, forgive, and hope.

Christian faith gives language to this ache without dismissing it. Christmas proclaims Emmanuel—God with us—even in sorrow. The candle lit in remembrance is not merely a symbol of loss, but of enduring connection. Light persists in darkness. Love outlives death. Memory becomes an act of faith.

To remember is not to remain trapped in grief; it is to honor the bond that was real and meaningful. Those we miss are not erased by time. They are carried forward in prayers whispered quietly, in traditions kept alive, in kindness offered because they once taught us how.

This Christmas, remembrance itself becomes a sacred act. In holding space for those no longer physically present, we affirm that love is stronger than separation and that what was shared in life is never truly lost. They are deeply missed—and forever remembered in our hearts.

Nanny Rita ‘NanDog’ yesterday at her stall at Kilcullen Christmas Market. Thank you Mammy/Nanny Rita ❤️ Jeremy would be so proud of his wonderful nanny’s work and knowing all the proceeds going to his music bursary in CPC Secondary School. Thank you to everyone who popped in to say hello and shared stories about Jeremy, thank you to the people who asked what the charity stall was for, thank you to the people who said Jeremy’s name and acknowledging that although it is a wonderful thing to do it is incredibly difficult. Thank you to the people who donated, bought raffle tickets and goods. And our helpers out in the rain very early yesterday morning thank you. Everyone’s support is so appreciated.

Liz Lambert was the winner of the hamper. Liz is Olivia’s mother, recipient of Jeremy’s bursary this year! Enjoy Liz and lovely meeting you 💕

Every good wish and blessing to you all ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙

Loved missed and remembered every day son.
