Chrissie Mullane

As nice a person as one could wish for to meet Chrissie of Drominahilla near the Town of Millstreet For many years she lived at the Priests Cross in Millstreet as the late Pat Mullane's wife It is so sad to learn that she has lost her gift of life Though she is one who had outlived her physical prime For her family and many friends this is such a sad time She was kind and honorable in every way And Millstreet all the poorer for her passing today Since us humans are mortals why otherwise pretend This life journey we are on for us all has to end Each day for us to our last one day more near And the farewell bell one the deceased never hear It is not how long or short your life is but on how well you live And Chrissie had so much love and kindness in her for to give And those who willingly give can expect to receive On such a philosophy for living life one can only believe Sadly in the flesh never more to be seen at the Priests Cross And her death to Millstreet must be counted as a loss Above St Mary's in view of Cashman's Hill the January sky may be gray But Chrissie is at peace in the earth where she lay.
