The death has occurred of Seamus O’SULLIVAN, Rathduane, Rathmore, Cork. Passed away peacefully on Sunday, 20th July. Reposing at Ballydaly Church on Tuesday from 5pm to 8pm. Requiem Mass on Wednesday at 12 noon. Burial afterwards in St Mary’s Cemetery, Millstreet. House private please.
Far from Rathduane where from a boy to a man he had grown
Seamus O’ Sullivan was one who was well liked and well known
And the sad news of his passing traveled far and wide
Beyond the borders of Duhallow and Sliabh Luachra’s countryside
That he lived as a good person does go without doubt
One who enjoyed his few drinks and the social night out
One who was kind and compassionate he never harmed anyone
His mum and dad in him did raise a good son
The biological clock seems to tick on fast beyond our life’s prime
Perhaps in his late sixties or early seventies when life’s Reaper on his life called time
The spectre of death for us all for to face
But Rathduane for his passing is a far worse off place
For all of us there is a last night and day
We are born to die since life is this way
By Cashman’s Hill in St Mary’s in Millstreet his last remains lay
That he lived as a good person of Seamus one can say.
