Kevin Alexander Gaffney was born Jan. 4, 1990 and died on Feb. 9. He was a member of the Grade 8 graduating class. The students participated in the funeral liturgy held at St. Patrick's Church in Dublin on Feb. 12. The presider was Father Moe Charbonneau and Father Chris Quinlan. Kevin's Grade 8 classmates read the Prayers of the Faithful and sang two songs during the celebration. The choir sang the song "Friends" in honour of Kevin, their friend. During the celebration, treasured reminders of Kevin were taken up in procession by his classmates. These included his Barney blanket, hickory sticks, pipe cleaners, stuffed teddy bear named "Rod" and stuffed dog named Players Exotic Dance Club Feb. 21 - Wet T Feb. 28 - Amateur Night All night Tuesday Specials Thursday - Shooter Night.
