It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that the news of the peaceful passing of Dad, Tony Walsh, is shared. Last week, surrounded by the love of his family, he embarked on his final journey, leaving behind a legacy of love, warmth, and cherished memories.
For those whom Mum and I have been unable to reach personally during this difficult time, we extend this heartfelt message to inform you of the details of Dad’s farewell. His funeral will be held on Tuesday, the 19th of December, at Blackley Crematorium, beginning at 12 pm.
This somber occasion provides an opportunity for family, friends, and well-wishers to come together and bid a fond farewell to a remarkable soul who touched the lives of many.
Following the funeral service, a celebration of life will take place at Prestwich Golf Club. This gathering serves as a moment to reflect on the joy and love that Dad brought into the lives of those around him. It is a time for shared stories, laughter, and a collective remembrance of a life well-lived.
The use of the butterfly and rainbow emojis in the announcement symbolizes hope, transformation, and the vibrant spectrum of emotions that surround the departure of a loved one.
These symbols, along with the folded hands and heart emojis, convey the family’s gratitude for the support and condolences received during this challenging time.
In lieu of the sorrow that permeates this message, there is a subtle invitation to embrace the beauty of the memories Dad left behind. The celebration of life at Prestwich Golf Club represents an opportunity to honor and remember Dad’s spirit, finding solace in the shared love and memories that endure.
During this period of mourning, the family appreciates the support, prayers, and condolences extended by friends and well-wishers.
It is a time for unity, reflection, and the collective embrace of the memories that will forever keep Dad alive in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.
