Title: Francis "Bud" McGovern Post by Ree on Jun 21st, 2005, 10:07am 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 http://www.joycefuneralhome.com/ |

Title: Re: Francis "Bud" McGovern Post by Margi on Jun 21st, 2005, 10:56am 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! |

Title: Re: Francis "Bud" McGovern Post by Gator on Jun 21st, 2005, 11:52am 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 |

Title: Re: Francis "Bud" McGovern Post by ClusterChuck on Jun 21st, 2005, 1:35pm 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 |

Title: Re: Francis "Bud" McGovern Post by Cathi04 on Jun 21st, 2005, 1:54pm 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. Cathi |

Title: Re: Francis "Bud" McGovern Post by Ree on Jun 22nd, 2005, 2:26am 2:40AM I have been putting together pictures for a collage at the funeral home.... this is the saddest of times. The only time I smiled today was when I pulled up and saw both of my sons on the front steps and walked in to hear my daughter playing her guitar.... life is a miracle..... I wrote this for my dads service.... My father walks to Heavens gate And leaves his cane behind Pains fire has now lost its burn He is now clear of mind The fear he had, now cast aside Past family draws near For now Dad sits inside God’s heart And he is waiting there A gentle man of stature With eyes of the greenest sea I’ll find those in my daughter now And who she’ll grow to be A funny man so witty So quick to steal a smile I’ll see now in my nieces Though it might take a while His love for sports, his zest for life My nephews and my sons Are strong and just examples Of a “Grampy” that they love The pride he held for all his kids His brothers and his bride Made my dad the man he was With a heart so big and wide So, if your looking for my dad No longer here I trust He’s left himself in little bits In every one of us. I love you all... |
