Eily Greaney

Her name was Eily Cronin before she became the late John Joe Greaney's wife She died in Lackabawn Near Millstreet Town where she had lived for most of her life A good wife to John Joe and to her children a good mother and a good person in every way And her many friends and her grieving family are worse off for her passing today In Millstreet she first looked on the light of day And in St Mary's near where she lived her last remains at peace now lay In Lackabawn her's will be a sadly missed face In her role in her family none to take her place In Millstreet one loved by many and to many well known And in her passing Millstreet has lost one of it's own In her long and well lived life her friends in numbers did grow And one can say of her she had the inner glow In the flesh in Lackabawn never more to be seen But in all who knew her good memories of her will remain evergreen One can only hope that her parting from life for her was a painless release And in life Eily Greaney who was such a good person may she now rest in peace.
