May you have the hindsight to know where you've been, The foresight to know where you are going, And the insight to know
when you have gone too far

"May love & laughter light your days and warm your heart & home. May good & faithful friends be yours, Wherever you may roam. May peace & plenty bless your world with joy that long endures. May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you & your's.

May you be forty years in heaven before the devil knows that you are dead.

May you always walk in sunshine. May you never want for more. May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door.

May the friendships you make be those which endure and all of your grey clouds be small ones for sure. And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray, may a song fill your heart every step of the way.

Many an Irish property was increased by the lace of a daughter's petticoat.
