Michael O'Donnell was taken from us far too early, being only 56 when he passed away. He lived
with his wife Betty & 4 kids, Ian, June, Michéle & Richard. He loved life, he loved to walk
so it was hard for him to accept that he couldn't be as active when he was told of his illness.
It took untill the later few years of his life for me to become close to him, he was such an
inspiration to me, I'm so glad I got that chance to get closer to him then, I only wish I had
more time with him. He loved to draw & kept a scrap book with some of his drawings which Im
happy to say I still have. The day he died was the last time I saw him, he told me that afternoon
that he was ready, God was waiting for him with his father & brother. This made me sad but also
made me happy to know that he had someone waiting for him. I was hoping we'd have a bit more
time but he died that evening. Even though you know its going to happen, its still hard to accept, I
know it was for me but I know he is at peace & he has his family around him. He always said when
someone dies its God looking for another Angel, I will always treasure that thought. Miss you dad..
God Bless xxx Michéle
