Norrie Guerin

Sad news out of Ballydaly Norrie Guerin has passed away Quite a nice and caring person of her one can only say A good mother to her children and to the late John Guerin a good wife In Duhallow and Sliabh Luachra she lived most of her long life On the Cork and Kerry border her journey in life began And in the honourable John Guerin she did marry a good man Ballydaly without her one can say a poorer place That life is not forever a sad fact we have to face But she will be remembered though her life's gift from her has gone And in everyone who knew her good memories of her will live on People like her well worth knowing so much goodness in her to admire To Ballydaly's youth a great role model goodness in life she did inspire It is a fact of human existence and fact does never lie That we are born as mortals and mortals are born to die And even the very thought of death can be a humbling thing But the praises of good people like Norrie Guerin one should feel happy to sing Born and raised as Nora Cronin in Sliabh Luachra's mountain countryside That she lived as a great person of her cannot be denied In the cemetery in Millstreet of St Mary's in view of Cashman's Hill Her heart that beat with kindness is sad to say forever still.
