Dear Sacred Heart,
Would you be kind enough to add this person to your book of remembrance:
Derek G. Brechin
Please place him next to his father, Richard J. Brechin, already in your book.
Derek suddenly passed away on November 6, 2009.
Although Derek lived in the USA for over 40 years,
Sacred Heart School and Parish was thought of fondly in his memories.
He served as an alter boy with Sacred Heart during the 1960s.
Thank you so much,
Alice Goldberg (his sister)

My grandmother Catherine Heaney married name Wilson died in 1922 aged 22
after giving birth to twins one of which was stillborn and this is really all I ever knew
about my grandmother. I have searched for many years to try and find out where
she is buried and recently I found that she is buried in common ground in
St. Peters cemetery London Rd. so there is no way I can even visit her grave
and there is no lasting reminder of my grandmother that is why I would like her name
added to your book of remembrance, to show that she is still remembered.
She was born in Ann Street in Bridgeton around 1900
so maybe she would have been baptised in your church.
I would very much appreciate it if you could add her name.

Would you please add my father Henry Gilmour Burns to the book of
remembrance.
My father and his two sisters Maurade who still lives in Bridgeton in
Dalmarnock Rd, and Sarah (Sadie)
were regular and I myself served on the altar at the Sacred Heart.
My father a keen photographer has a May Day process ion on Super 8
which I have now on Video
and hope to transpose to DVD which I will copy to the parish when done.
My father and all his family were integral in Parish and had my dad
known about the Tridentine I am sure he would have come along , but for his illness.
Anyway I hope you will include my father's name as Sacred Heart was always in His Heart!
Regards
Derek H Burns

Dear Rev Father.
It is with sadness I have to add another member of my family to your
book of remembrance .
It is my Aunt Maurade Burns who passed away in the early hours of
Saturday morning
in the Glasgow Royal on 9th October 2010.
She appeared in a photo you had up the back of the church which I saw
when I came to visit
It showed my Mother , sister , Aunt Maurade, Aunt Sadie, Uncle
George, Frank Fitzpatrick, the front pew
If you can add her to the book this will be much appreciated.
Regards
Derek Burns.

On viewing the Book of Remembrance on your website
i noticed the name Richard J Brechin listed
but didn't make any connection at that time.
However more recently as you were about to celebrate your centenary
I once again visited your website.
On this occasion I found another Brechin listed - Derek G Brechin.
It was then I realised that Derek was a friend
when we lived in Main Street Bridgeton.
On scrolling through your Remembrance Book
I discovered a letter dated 15 December 2009
from Derek's sister Alice Goldberg requesting
that her brother's name be entered in your Book.
I would be very much obliged if you would forward
her email address so that we may offer her our condolences
and possibly renew old acquaintances.
Thanking you in anticipation.
