FINAL THOUGHTS The Irish place particular importance in obituaries, which, in many cases, contain the last words written about ordinary individuals whose lives were the Church, the land, national politics, song, rhyme, or the family. While each obituary tells the story of a single individual, a larger story unfolds in the details and descriptions. The death of each Irish person gives a glimpse into what being Irish is all about. Perhaps the character of this people comes from the abiding instincts of tribe and clan or from the strong experience that life is inordinately fragile. Or, maybe it is tl}© layers of religious traditions that imbue the Irish with reverence and curiosity for the passage that is death in all its startling detail.
Obituaries can be a place to remember a loved one, to share with others the death of a family member, and to create a concrete expression of ones loss.
