It is with a broken heart that I report to you the loss of my dear Dad Buddy McGovern. He took his last breath at 11:13 am yesterday June 20th and I had the remarkable gift of being there when he went to Heaven....
I cannot tell you or express to you the sadness I feel and I only want to say to you I'm sorry because I know you were all rooting for him too.
My Dad will watch the next Redsox game with the great Bambino~~
thanks for loving my Dad......
thanks for loving me and putting up with all of my sad posts..... I noticed over the time it was wearing on people. I love you all and though Im absent know I am praying for you always and have not forgotten why we are all here......
for the Mass residents.....
The funeral will be held in Waltham at the Joyce Funeral Home
245 Main Street
Waltham, Massachusetts 02453
Phone: (781)894-2895
visiting hours are 4-8 Thursday night and the funeral will leave from the funeral home at apx 9:45 to a Mass at St Charles Borromeo Parish Church St Waltham.....10:00 am...... no pressure.... just incase you wanted to know the particulars......
The angels will be holding me up... To this point I have made almost all of the decisions except picking out his casket..... I let Kev and Buddy Jr do that......LOL love ya Ree

Aw, Ree, I'm so sorry to hear this. BIG hugs.
You're right though - it is a remarkable gift to be with a loved one when they pass, isn't it? I hope you were able to find peace from sharing his transition with him when he was called Home.
Know that I am only a phone call away, Ree - anything you need.
Our prayers are with you and your family in the coming days as you prepare to celebrate Bud's life. And do celebrate it, my friend, you are so blessed to have been his daughter.
love,
Margi & Mike
Soar, Bud, Soar!

Ree, hon, you have my deepest sympathies. I only hope that my kids will be half the supportive and loving person you have been to your father.
Hugs to you and your family.
Mike
What do you say
What do you say to a dear cherished friend
When you hear of a loss they've endured
Words seem so futile and inadequate
Yet you feel that they must be reassured
So you rattle your brain and search your heart
To come up with something profound
You scribble some words that you hope will make sense
And will help your friend not feel so down
So to you, my dear Ree on this sad sad day
I pass this thought on as I sigh a deep breath
As you lay him to rest and think dear Bud
Celebrate his life - don't mourn his death

Oh Ree, I'm so very sorry. I was really hoping and praying. I loved seeing the pics of your dad and hearing the stories you told. He looked like a wonderful man and I really warmed to him. I'm glad he is out of pain and suffering, and I know you have a lot of wonderful memories to help hold you up.
Take care of yourself and your lovely family
With as much love and affection as I can send

My condolences to you and your family. I am sure he treasured the love you gave him every day, and especially at the end. He is now carrying that love and devotion with him for eternity.
Remember, he is ALWAYS with you, in your heart, and right next to you.
As we said at my mother's funeral: Don't dwell on the sadness of missing him, rather revel in the joy and good times you were able to share. Laugh at his jokes. At his quirks. At all the times you had together. Celebrate his life. "Remember the time he did .. .. .. " "Remember when he said .. .. .. "
All my love and heartfelt sorrow at your loss.
Chuck

Ree, my deepest sympathy. I know he was a wonderful man, and I know he loved you deeply.
To say he is out of pain is acknowledging there is a hole in your world. In time, that hole will remain, but it will be filled with fond memories which will bring a smile to your face.
Remember, he is NOT gone.....he is everywhere.
