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.
Dancing In Heaven
by Martha Carr
*•.¸¸.•* *•.¸¸.•*
The angels are dancing in the starlight tonight,
Lighting the stars with candles so bright.
Smiling as they dance through the heaven above,
Caressing the star tips with satin laced gloves.
The stars twinkle brightly to let the angels know,
No matter where they dance the starlight will glow.
Waltzing in time to the harps lovely tune,
Winking to the smile on the face of the moon.
Open your eyes, stare at the heaven above,
Imagine the angels dancing with love.
If you look even closer I am sure you will see,
Grandma and grandpa angels swaying so free.
Angels so radiant they light up the sky,
Dancing to the choir singing the sweet by & by.
Angels sway softly in robes spun out of gold,
Spreading star dust as they dance on their toes.
Slippers of silk on their little feet as they leap,
Dancing on the star tips looking so sweet.
Next time you look at the stars twinkling so bright,
Imagine the angels dancing in the moonlight.

Love you Mum
If roses grow in heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mothers arms,
And tell her there from me,
Tell her I love her and miss her,
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek,
And hold her for a while,
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
But there's an ache within my heart,
Because I'm missing her today.
As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know
I’m Not Gone Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed
I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below
So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere

Dont think i have ever gone this long without seeing you.... missing you more than i can say.... Love you forever xxxxxxxxx
In Sympathy
So sorry for your loss. My nan passed away last year and it feels like my whole world has been taken away. My thoughts are with you. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I have done. x
What is Dying?
A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.
Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'
That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.
Memories
Words cannot begin to say how sad I feel, but memories will always keep you close Cath because of the many happy times we shared.
A friend indeed because I knew that you really cared.
Your words of wisdom were always a help and I will miss these and you so very much.
