The Month's Mind Mass for John Clarke will take place on Sunday, 21st September at 12.30pm in the Cathedral of Christ the King.

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away
into the next room. Whatever we were to each other,
that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes
we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me,
pray for me. Let my name be the household
word that it always was. Let it be spoken without
effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the
same as it ever was; there is absolutely
unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of
your mind because I am out of your sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was
before-only better, infinitely happier and
forever-we will all be one together with Christ.

 All Welcome.

Much loved and sadly missed every day by your daughter Annette, your son Sean, your sister Madeline, son-in-law Martin, daughter-in-law Sharon, your cherished grandchildren Alex, Sam, Noah, Max, Lynne and Faye and your exceptional neighbours and friends.
