Mr. Maloney,
this ole gal would trade Guinness, Irish Whiskey and all her 4 leaf clovers to talk with you one last time
simply put, you made life better
to say you were captivating is a deafening understatement
your eyes alone twinkled brighter than all the stars in the night sky
and man, did you wear them well
just days ago you woefully proclaimed the pretty girls always leave
we both knew who was leaving first, which makes this no less devastating, but truthfully more
will carry treasured memories of your stories, advice, wisdom, humor and laughter until we meet again
can't ring the church bells for you...can't even locate a rosary
but can raise my glass
for a toast
to my Irish friend
from your Irish friend,
L Cleary
