| Last night at St. Mary Church, many parishioners gathered together for a prayer service and the recital of the Rosary in honor of Father Keane. He was unique, intelligent, well-informed on current issues, and he had a sense of humor par excellence. Men of the Knights of Columbus took turns keeping vigil.
Along with the Knights, parishioners also took turns keeping vigil through the night,lasting till 10:30 a.m. and the funeral at 11:00 a.m. Today our church was packed to say our farewells and convey our respect and love for this wonderful priest. |
| Remembered Joy |
| Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free! I follow the plan God laid for me. I saw His face, I heard His call, I took His hand and left it all... I could not stay another day, To love, to laugh, to work or play; Tasks left undone must stay that way. And if my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss... Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss. My life's been full, I've savoured much: Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief— Don't shorten yours with undue grief. Be not burdened with tears of sorrow, Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow. |
