Photo No.4
In Loving Memory of | DESMOND O'REILLY | Cloone, Cleggan | 
Lost at Sea, "Carrickmahog" | 9th Oct 2002 Aged 32 years.

'He is not far - this is not goodbye
He is not far - he is always near
In the memories
That you hold most dear
In the Hearts that still care
In that love that goes on
He will never be far
He will never be done

... He never found his rest ashore,
Moping for one voyage more
Where have they laid the sailor John?.."

W.B. Yeats

Rest in Peace | Erected by his family and friends.
