Catherine(Cath) Mary Bergin
Born 24th Febuary 1938
Died on Monday 7th January
Aged 69
A mum to Paul, Dean and Sarah. Wife to Terry and Nanna to four lucky grandchildren,Sadie, Bethan,Luke and Cameron.
A loyal and true friend to all.
A very sudden and unexpected death.
A lady who dealt with so much throughout her life, the tragedy of losing her son, Dean, in a motorbike accident when he was only 29, left her devastated,the sadness and pain she felt when Dean was killed was something she never got over and she remained heartbroken for 13 years and 9 months! And the unsolved mystery of where her father was , when he went to work one day and never returned when she was just 18.
We find some comfort in knowing she is reunited with those we know she wanted to see again.
Despite all of this what a lovely special person she was, always there if you needed her and so thoughtful and generous to her family and friends, and even to those she didnt know. A soft touch from her warm hands would make you feel better if you were upset, and her laugh could always make you smile.
Anywhere she went there would be some one she knew, from a neighbour to someone she worked with years before. Never would she not say hello. She looked for the best in people, even if their faults were noticable.
WE LOVE YOU NANNA AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH.
The Final Flight
Dont grieve for me, for now Im free,
Im following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
Ive found that peace at the end of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Lifes been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Dont lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ
My heart, I send to thee.
Wisps of color in the air;
Butterflies from me.
They travel on a gentle breeze
To wherever you may be
Painting hearts with kisses,
Just as those you've sent to me.
ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ ♥ ღ
Happy Birthday mum!
Me and Bethan were chatting last night about when they used to stay over at your house, they loved it when they slept the night!!
Tea and biscuits, the silky nightie, staying up late and of course all the sweets and chocolate.
We laughed about "getting ready for take-off" and Sam's little whoopsie in the kitchen.
Good times.... how I miss them and you!!! ; - ((
All my love, hugs and kisses

I have just read with great sadness the loss of a great lady Catherine while visiting a friend whom i have recently lost.I had the honour of meeting Catherine when i was best friends with her son Dean. I remember Catherine made a cracking cup of tea and always provided me with a ciggy (dean used to pinch mine) which was always welcome after a freezing days out motorbiking with my best mate Dean. I lost touch with Catherine and Terry after i lost my mate Dean. I am sorry its belated but my thoughts are with you all. Take care Catherine you will deeply missed (and give Dean a slap from me) xxx
The Other Side
I'm over on the other side
Where life and death softly divide
Left my skin and bones behind
Now I'm over on the other side.
Can you feel me there with you
My breath is gone, but I am not through
Loved you then and I still do
From over on the other side.
I can fly, really fly
Below the earth, all through the sky
Tell them all I did not die
I'm just over on the other side.
It's good here on the other side
The sweetest songs, the bluest skies
Thank you for the tears you cried
But it's good here on the other side.
I can fly, really fly
Below the earth, all through the sky
Tell them all I did not die
I'm just over on the other side.
The world is smaller than a needle's eye
Where life and death softly divide
When you leave your skin and bones behind
I'll be waiting on the other side.
I can fly, really fly
Below the earth, all through the sky
Go tell them all, I did not die
I'm just over on the other side...

You're such a brilliant Mum
and I just want to say
My love for you grows stronger
each and every day.
It is something very special
the bond that we share
But I rarely get the chance
to show you how much I care.
I love you with all my heart
and so I want to send my love
and thanks for every thing you've done
and for being my best friend.

You are Loved.
Don’t give up
It’s just the weight of the world
When your heart’s heavy, I
I will lift it for you
Don’t give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you, I
I will break it for you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are loved
Don’t give up
It’s just the hurt
That you hide
When you’re lost inside, I
I’ll be there to find you
Don’t give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you I
I will shine to guide you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are loved
You are loved
Don’t give up
It's just the weight of the world
Don't give up
Everyone needs to be heard
You are loved
I know you really loved this song Mum, hope you can still hear it! I miss you so much. x x x x x
THE WINDS OF TIME CANNOT BLOW
MY LOVE AWAY...
DEEP IN MY SOUL, THIS LOVE WAS BORN.
AND WILL LAST TILL MY DYING DAY,
SANDS IN THE HOURGLASS SLOWLY FALL,
AND TIME QUICKLY RUNS ON BY...
A SIGH ESCAPES... THIS LONGING FOR YOU,
IS AS VAST AS THE EARTH AND SKY...
TILL WE MEET AGAIN, GOD GO WITH YOU,
AND GUIDE YOUR WAYWARD GAIT...
BUT KNOW IN MY HEART,MY UNDYING LOVE
SILENTY, LONGINLY,WAITS.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE ROSE BEYOND THE WALL
A rose once grew
Where all could see
Sheltered beside a garden wall
And as the days passed swiftly by
It spread its branches staight and tall
One day,a beam of light
Shone through a crevice
That opened wide
The rose bent gently
Towards its warmth
Then passed beyond
To the other side
Now,you who deeply feel its loss
Be comforted the rose blooms there
Its beauty even greater now
Nurured by Gods own loving care
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

AND WHERE IT LEADS I'LL GO.
FOR THE WIND THAT BLEW YOU TO ME,
WILL TAKE ME WHERE I MUST GO.
UPWARD INTO THE HILLS.
CALMLY ACROSS THE SEA.
HOLD ON MY LOVE, IM COMING,
THE WINDS HAVE SET ME FREE.
FREE TO LOOK AND SEARCH THIS EARTH
NO MATTER HOW FAR THAT MAY BE.

UTIL IT BLOWS ME BACK TO THEE.
I HEAR YOUR LAUGHTER ON THE WIND.
I TRY WITH ALL MY MIGHT
TO REACH OUT TO YOU
ON THIS WINDY NIGHT.
I FEEL YOU GETTING CLOSE TO ME.
I FEEL YOUR WHISPERD LOVE.
I WILL REACH MY HAND TO YOU

AND SOFTLY SPEAK MY NAME,
OUT OF THE WHISPERING WINDS
