Film of Anthony's Requiem Mass (click to go)
| My dear nephew Anthony - my sister's son - was killed while crossing a
road in Manchester, on Wednesday 20 April. He was 33. As someone wrote on a wreath card (I quote from memory): " ... when Tony came into a room his lop-sided grin lit up the whole place.." It's true. He was a most charming,
perceptive and intelligent young man, loved by everyone who knew him - and
I mean everyone.. Why? Because he was totally natural,
without artifice. He loved life. He loved his friends - simply loved
to be in their company. His enjoyment was infectious and was returned a
hundredfold. |
| Anthony - Tony - our beautiful friend, brother, nephew and cousin - loved and grieved for by all who know him. I say 'know' because there is no past tense in the life of God's Love. |
| We are shocked beyond belief - deeply grieving. The church was packed for his funeral in Ardglass on 29 April. Some thirty of Anthony's friends arrived in Ardglass - mostly from Manchester, Sheffield and London, though cousins Michael and Sean O'Shea flew in from Belgium and a further two friends came specially from Hong Kong and from Sydney, Australia - remarkable tributes to Anthony. Such friendship and love was the only bright thing, helping to wipe away the hurt and the tears. God love Anthony for ever more. I cannot write any more at the moment. |

Paul Williams, one of Anthony's - well, Tony's - friends in Manachester
has established a website called "friendsof tonykerr".
It will be a site containing memories and photos of the lad - and as promised
during Tony's funeral (I suppose I better get used to calling him Tony - at
times) a memorial party is being organised for the evening of Sunday 5th June.

Film, Anthony's Requiem Mass (uses
Windows Media Player - DOWNLOAD
HERE if you do not already have.)
As this film is approx 18mb you will need Broadband to view properly. Even then the quality may not be great - added to the quality of the film itself, which was produced in haste.
I am hoping to create a DVD, but am having great difficulty with this.
