With deepest sympathy to Johns family and gratitude for all that he stood for, the example he set and the legacy he has left. All the possibilities of your human destiny are asleep in your soul. You are here to realize and honor these possibilities. When love comes in to your life, unrecognized dimensions of your destiny awaken and blossom and grow. Possibility is the secret heart of time.” ― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

When John presented me with my A-Level certificate back in 2000 I didn’t fully appreciate the work that he (and others) had done to secure the peace that I had enjoyed the years previous and since. We are forever indebted to people like John who spent their lives working toward a peaceful and welcoming Northern Ireland. Rest in peace. |
