Des was a stalwart of the community. He had come to St Mary's in 1941 and most of the last 30 years and been sacristan. He had love of Lourdes which came out in the music choices. The whole choir was there which was a tribute to him and his family.
I was touched that his widow asked for In paradisum at the end - and meant May the choirs of angels. When we sang it i remembered the composer whose funeral was later the same day
