Poem written by Dylan Lynch- Mam and Dad’s Wedding Day-

My name is Dylan and I would like you to know that my beautiful sister Ally is in the front row. I know for a fact that she is as excited as me to see my Mam and dad as happy as can be. I want to thank you God for my Mam and Dad for everything they have done. I sure am glad; When God blesses Mam and Dad with Ally and me. He made us the happiest children that ever could be. My Mam looks beautiful, I know you will agree. The best Mam in the world, she’s been to me. My Dad and granddad are quite handsome too. My two Nana’s scrub up well, I must admit to you. I’ve waited a long time for this marvellous day, to see Marilyn become Mrs. Lynch, what more can I say. So please bow your heads and ask God above to bless all my family, whom I dearly love.

This poem was read from the alter on the morning of the wedding of Dylan’s mother Marilyn and father Patrick.
