REMAINS
The tiniest crumb on the table ….
You were here ….
You were here ….
You just left ….
You said something that really hurt ….
You tried to reach me ….
You were thinking of me in Barcelona ….
You left a signal in the night for my return ….
You died 8 months ago today ….

Fr Costello,
You didn't know it but the timing of your poem REMAINS was near perfect. My husband Tom
passed away on 16 Nov 2019, nearly 12 months ago, and thanks to the Funeral Home and Fr McKenna's help, the ashes are now in an urn, in a niche at the cemetery. However, the sentiment and love you portrayed in the poem are still very much felt by me as if it was yesterday. I am so glad you had the inspiration.
Thank you and God bless,
