My most beautiful eldest sister Elizabeth Harkins (nee
Betty Dowling), age 42 passed away peacefully after a long battle borne bravely against
many
Cancers. She will be sadly missed by her husband Derek and 3 young boys Patrick,
Derek and Humphrey, her parents Humphrey and Kathleen,
brothers Humphrey & Michael, sisters Caroline, Patricia & Colette, brothers-in-law
Alan, Dermot and the late Peter Byrne (RIP), sisters-in-law Maureen & Natalie, nephews, nieces, aunts,
uncles, most wonderful neighbours and a large circle of many dear and true friends. May she rest in peace.

Elizabeth Harkins (nee Dowling)
4th July 1966 - 19th April 2009
RIP
God saw she
was getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put His arms around her
and whispered, ''Come with me''.
With tearful
eyes we watched her suffer
and saw her fade away.
Although we loved her dearly,
we could not make her stay.
A golden
heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best.
