“The Meeting of the Waters“- Poem extract by Thomas Moore (1779 – 1852)
There is not in the wide world a valley so sweet
As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet.
Oh! the last rays of feeling and life must depart,
Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart.
It is with great sadness we report the death of a great friend to Thurles, Mr Dermot Cahill, Ard na Re, Leugh, Thurles, Co. Tipperary and formerly of Knockbrack, Banteer, Co. Cork.
Mr Cahill, former Manager of Dovea AI Centre and retired, passed away suddenly on September 22nd, 2013 last.
Dermot was beloved husband of Eileen and much loved father of Donal, Conor, Dermot, Cathriona and Mary. His passing will be sadly missed by his family, his brothers, sisters, daughters-in-law, son-in-law, grandchildren, nephews, nieces and a very large circle of close friends.
An avid reader, local historian, gardener, store house of knowledge and passionate environmentalist, Mr Cahill will be greatly missed from amongst our community.
Having reposed at the family home from 4:00pm yesterday (Tuesday) September 24th, his remains were removed this Wednesday morning at 9.30am for Requiem Mass at 11:00am, to the Cathedral of the Assumption, Thurles, Co.Tipperary. Mr Cahill’s body was interred later in Killinan Cemetery, Nenagh Road, Thurles.
Go ndéana Dia trócaire ar a anam dílis.
