Sean Christopher Mitchell

A wonderful loving celebration and thanksgiving at St Wilfred's followed by the commemoration at The Minerva with very special family pictures and memories of Sean's life.

Poem: Goodbye

Life is precious and really quite fragile As if dancing on the edge of a precipice Of a cliff so high We can’t see the bottom

Without any warning
Someone so special was taken
Into the dark ravine

His laughter
His irrepressible spirit
His generous open way
His beautiful heart
The way his smile made us feel
The encouragement and love he gave

The wrench of him being swept away
Feels like a deep painful wound
We will miss you and all that you were
And all that you gave

We will still cry
We will always cry
But in time our hearts will heal
And the hopeless longing will fade
But your bright shining spirit will remain

Nothing is permanent
Its forever changing
Real love never fades
It burns like the sun
And your soul will go on and on

Goodbye my beautiful cousin
And thank you for the times we’ve had
And for all the glorious memories we’re left with

God bless Cus!
