One of the best ceremonies I have ever watched online these days. Such a naturally gifted Family. To My mate Douglas, keep the romance alive in Heaven. Pretty sure you will be playing tennis again, and learning a few Dance moves from Kevin and Carmel Mary. Don’t believe a word St Patrick says. St Jack will be up there sometime next Century to sort that Fighting Irish Bloke out with a few swift kick to the uno what. Live life to the Fullest descendants. You have one of the biggest legacies in the world to Live up to. Be patrons, don’t dwell, that’s why God put rubber on the end of Pencils. Signing out, ST JOATMON
