I am standing upon the seashore
A ship at my side spreads
her white sails to the morning breeze
And starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength
And I stand to watch her until at length
She hangs like a speck of white cloud
Just where the sea and the sky
Come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says:
"There, she is gone!"
"Gone where?"
"Gone from my sight, that's all."
She is just as large
in mast and hull and spar
As she was when she left my side
And she is just as able to bear her load
of living freight
To the place of her destination.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone
at my side says:
"There, she is gone!"
There are other eyes watching
her coming,
And other voices to take up
the glad shout,
"Hear she comes!"
And that is dying.
Victor Hugo, from Toilers of the Sea.

GALLAGHER, Raymond Joseph - October 22, 1930 - February 27, 2013 - It is with heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Husband, Dad, Granddad and Brother, Raymond, surrounded by his family. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 42 years, Elizabeth, his three children: daughter Catherine Gillingham (Maurice) and grandchildren Emily and Liam; son Christopher Gallagher (Jana) and grandson Patrick; son Anthony Gallagher (Erica) and granddaughter Erin. Also leaving to mourn his sisters: Rita McDonald (St. John's), Florence Haney (Camarillo, California), Genevieve Unger (Palm Coast, Florida). Ray was a caring and thoughtful son, a kind and generous brother and an uncle to many nieces and nephews. He adored his grandchildren and you could see his face light up from within whenever they said granddad or just gave him a smile. We will be sure to keep his memory alive with each of them. He was a devoted and loving husband and to say he adored Elizabeth would be an understatement. Mom, he loved you with every fiber of his being. Dad was such a jokester always wanting to get a good laugh out of someone and loved to be in on a good joke or prank. He had the hardiest laugh and kept his sense of humor right up until his final days. He was a friend to so many and had a way with people. For anyone who dare to step foot on a squash or tennis court against him knew of his fierce competitive spirit. Yet he could be so sweet and smiling while they played. The greatness of a man should not be measured in all of his wealth or accomplishments in life, but for the way in which his family views him. And all of us who knew him saw him as a sweet, loveable, caring and devoted man. We would like to extend heartfelt thanks to John Fully from Tender Loving Care. John and Dad had a little saying "cold hands, warm heart". Dr. Percy Crocker and staff for their exceptional care and kindness. Resting at Carnell's Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road with visitation on Saturday from 7 - 9 p.m. and Sunday from 2 - 4 and 7 - 9 p.m.. A Funeral Mass and celebration of Ray's life will be held on Monday, March 4, 2013, at 1:30 p.m. at The Basilica of St. John the Baptist. Interment to follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. In lieu of flowers a donation in Ray's memory may be made to the Ronald McDonald House, or a Charity of one's choice.

"… My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain, I've lived a life that's full, I traveled each and every highway, And more, much more than this, I did it my way".  We love you dad. You will be missed.

Gallant, Barbara J. (nee Tricco)
Much beloved mother, nana, sister, aunt and cousin, passed away peacefully at her home in Tewksbury on February 25, 2013 after a short illness. Daughter of the late Gilbert and Elizabeth (Elliott) Tricco, both from Newfoundland, she was born in Chelsea, MA on January 29, 1933 and graduated from Chelsea High School in 1950. She had a very interesting and full life, working for the telephone company, Eastern Airlines, the Chelsea school system and, lastly, a long stint for The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, from which she retired in 2002. She just recently celebrated her 80th birthday with many of her family members celebrating her life. A devoted mother and grandmother, she was always putting others' interests before her own. She loved spending time with her family, immediate and extended, and her many, many friends, and was always ready to talk and to listen. She always had a positive attitude that impacted the lives of all who knew her well, and her smile, laughter and adventuresome spirit will be sorely missed. She loved to travel, especially enjoying her yearly trip to Newfoundland every summer for the last decade. She was actively involved in Tewksbury Congregational Church's Ladies' Aid group, the Chelsea High School Class of 1950 Reunion Committee, and also enjoyed attending bible studies and women's retreats at Grace Chapel. She had a strong faith in God which carried her through many challenging times. Even during her last weeks, when her health unexpectedly and rapidly declined, she exemplified strength and trust and an uncomplaining, thankful spirit. She always had a smile, kind word or gentle humor for all those who had the privilege of caring for her during these last days. Barbie was predeceased by her brothers Gilbert and Charles Tricco. She is survived by her son Brian with his wife Lori and their children Eric and Emma Gallant of Tewksbury, daughter Amy with her husband Zbynek and their children Richard, Alex, Tanya and Denis Ryzi of Littleton, her brother James Tricco of Pennsylvania, and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and sisters-in-law, both in the United States and Canada. A memorial service, honoring and giving thanks for her life, will be held Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 2:00pm at the Tewksbury Congregational Church, 10 East Street, Tewksbury, MA. Donations in her memory may be made to VNA Hospice Care, 100 TradeCenter, G-500 Woburn, MA 01801 www.hospicecarema.org

GULLIVER, Harold (Harry) Joseph - Lifetime dairy farmer from Blackmarsh Road. Born January 8, 1926, slipped into the arms of Jesus in the presence of his loving family on Sunday, February 24, 2013 at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital, age 87 years. Dad is welcomed home to be reunited with his parents: William and Elizabeth (Codner) and is the last surviving member of his family to grace our lives. Predeceased by brothers: Jack, Sam, Pearce, Bill and Gerald and sisters: Edith, Margaret (Grant) and Ann Marie "Nan" Stephenson as well as honorary son John Gulliver and best friend Brian Casey. Leaving to mourn his great loss and to celebrate his legacy are his wife of 62 years, Margaret (Ryan), whom he adored, and his nine sons: Garry (Dianne), Craig (Annie), Keith (Dianne), Derek (Lynn), Terry, Perry, Glenn (Bonnie), Sean (Karen), Blair (Dana) and his only daughter Sherry (Roger Butler). Also, 19 grandchildren: Craig (Andrea), Chad (Melissa), Harry (Jenny), Troy (Andrea), April, Annie (Josh) Mandy (Garret), Mitchell, Sherra (Robert), Lindsay, Tyler, Liam, Parker, Jaxson, Raygan, Kolby, Kaleb, and his little buddy Evan, As well as great-grandchildren: Samantha, Cora, Nathan, Logan, James and two more on the waiting list and special sister-in-law Mary Gulliver. The Gulliver family is extensive with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who were blessed to have known dad. Harry absolutely loved dairy farming and cherished "The White Gold," as he would call it, which allowed him and mom to provide for the family. He truly was, "outstanding in his field," and his cattle were like his children. Away from the barn, dad had other routines that he adhered to religiously such as listening to open line, reading The Telegram daily, watching the nightly news, Land and Sea, city council meetings, and Hockey Night in Canada (especially joyous when Montreal would lose). Dad loved a good yarn too. As a young boy, dad grew up on a farm on Craigmillar Avenue where St. Mary's Church is located today. Most days before he would hoof it to Holy Cross School on Patrick Street, he would walk along Craigmillar Avenue delivering bottles of milk to his customers. Many a story he told us of these experiences. In 1946, his father bought the property on Blackmarsh Road as they made the move from Craigmillar Avenue. Dad and his brother Gerald would go on to set up two separate dairy farms on the Gulliver property which continued for over 60 years. The farm on Blackmarsh Road was not just a family farm but a neighborhood farm, as a lifetime of memories were gained by many playing baseball in the field, spotlight at night, or baling hay in the summer. It really was the greatest life in the world! Special mention to the staff of the dialysis unit at St. Clare's, Dr. Noel Brown for a lifetime of care, and to our mom, the family pillar. Resting at Caul's Funeral Home on LeMarchant Road. Visitation on Tuesday and Wednesday from 2 p.m. - 9 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will take place at St. Teresa's Parish, Mundy Pond Road on Thursday February 28, 2013 at 11 a.m. Interment to follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.

Alice was highly respected as one of the province's storytellers and over the past 25 years has told stories at festivals and special heritage events. She has been interviewed by international folklorists and her storytelling has been documented in a couple of films. Alice credits her gift of storytelling to her grandmother Mary (Strang) McCarthy. Her grandmother retold the stories she had been told by an elderly aunt, who was born in Lawn around 1820. These stories have been passed on orally in our family for about 175 years. In 1991 some of these stories were preserved in a book which Alice co-wrote with her brother Michael McCarthy "Fables, Fairies & Folklore of Nfld." Alice went on to co-author two more books with Mike "Ghost Stories from Newfoundland Folklore and Yuletide Yarns." He was a well-known author in his own rite and predeceased her in 2005. While she had never been further than Grand Falls in the first 62 years of her life, she made up for it in the last 23 years with trips to Australia, Costa Rica, France, Hawaii, Ireland, Italy, Medjugorge, and numerous trips across Canada and to the United States. Every one of these trips created great fodder for her own stories such as "How I Stopped the Trains in Australia". In addition to her storytelling, Alice is known in her community for her caring and generosity which were often demonstrated by a specially made tray of cream puffs or a plate of fudge or caretaking for the sick and elderly. As well as being Mom and Grandma, she was known to others as "Ao", "Abbo" or Aunt Alice and received the designation of "Grandma Alice the Great" by one of her great-grandchildren. She will be sadly missed but will forever stay alive in our hearts and memories as her stories continue to be retold.Resting at Maher's Funeral Home with visitation on Friday, March 1st from 1-4 p.m. and 6-9 p.m; Saturday, March 2nd from 1-4 p.m. and 6-9 p.m.; and Sunday, March 3rd from 2-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Flowers or donations gratefully accepted.

RYAN (nee Hynes), Lydia Marie - June 25, 1939 - February 20, 2013
She held our tiny, fragile hands when we first entered this world, and we, her two daughters, along with her baby sister, held her gentle, loving hands as she left. Our Mom raised us to be compassionate, gentle, optimistic, confident, courageous women. We have respect, faith, enthusiasm, tolerance, and strength because of our role model, Mom, who truly 'lived' her life to the fullest. Her zest for life, and all of its adventures, made those fortunate enough to spend time with her yearn to do more, see more, and experience more. She made life an adventure, which she willingly shared with those who could keep up with her. To her family, she was the epitome of pure, unconditional love. She was lovingly and gently taken to Heaven by the angels who passed before her: her father and mother Edward and Bridget Hynes, her brother and sister-in-law John Will and Angie, her mother and father-in-law, Mary Ann and William Ryan; and her son-in-law, Kenneth Hickey. She leaves beautiful memories for her heartbroken family: husband John; daughters: Darlene (Jean-Claude Derible) and Rolanda; grandchildren: Chantelle (David Keen), Declan, and Andrew; great-grandchildren, Riley and Noah; sister and companion adventure-seeker, Sharon; brothers: Edward (Marg), Reg (Mary), and Hughie (Anna); Uncle, Willie Hynes; best friend, Margaret Coffey; and attentive friends and care-givers, Berkley Reynolds, George Ebsary, and Andrew Williams. Mom will be dearly missed by this circle of love, as well as a much larger circle of extended family and friends both in NL and in other parts of North America. While we weep for our loss, the mere mention of her name will forever bring a smile to every person she ever encountered on her journey through life. She was truly 'Beautiful'. To share memories of her life, you may visit Caul's Funeral Home, LeMarchant Road, on Saturday, February 23rd or Sunday, February 24th, from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Funeral to be held at St. Patrick's Church, Patrick Street, at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, February 25th. Flowers graciously accepted or donations may be made in her honor to the Lung Association.
Mom, we will love you and miss you forever. Until you come to take our hands once again, to bring us home with you, you will live on in a sacred place in our hearts. With all our sincere gratitude for all you have given us, we say, Thank-You. Darlene and Rolanda.
