AND remember: Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened! No Regerts! This morning, we buried my sister Noreen. To our listeners, thank you for all if the hugs, well wishes, shared stories and friendship. At her passing, she was surrounded by all of her kids, grandkids, siblings and our parents.

We each told of what will always remind her of us, of how we know she is near when we see it, and she smiled as best she could. She could hear our conversation, tho her oxygen assisted breath was labored. “I am fine, I am fine” she said.

I bid you farewell; watch over your kids and theirs tooThere’s nothing stronger than a mother’s love, for what else can a mother do?Tho you fret, though you worried, you will always be adoredRest in peace, Dear Noni, in the gentle arms of our Lord *** Noreen’s obituary reads: Noreen O'Brien Beardmore April 28, 1961 - June 13, 2021 Noreen Theresa (O'Brien) Beardmore passed away on Sunday, June 13 at home, surrounded by her family.
