Give thanks for the life and the long journey of Robert George Gelinas, a man who recently take him flight and gone to glory inna the heart of Jamaica Plain. It heavy pon the heart of the community as we gather 'round to say our final goodbyes to a soul who did walk amongst us with strength and a steady spirit. Inna this year of 2026, the Most High call him home, marking the end of a chapter for a man whose name was well-respected from one end of the neighborhood to the next. Robert was a pillar, a man of standard, and a man who did know the value of family and friendship.
When we look back pon the years he spent with us inna Massachusetts, we see a life filled with purpose. Robert was never one to make a whole heap of noise for nothing; instead, he move with a quiet dignity that speak louder than any shout. Inna Jamaica Plain, where the trees stay green and the pond reflect the sky, Robert was a familiar face that people did always glad to see. Whether he was sharing a bit of wisdom or just giving a nod of respect as he pass by, him livity was something that touched everyone him come across. He did understand that life is a gift, and he never did waste a moment of it.
The family and the close ones now congregate at the Brady & Fallon Funeral Home, a place where the air thick with both sorrow and celebration. It is a time for the people to come together as one big family, to hold up the ones who feel the loss the most. We know that grief is a mountain that hard to climb, but when we share the memories sweet like honey, the path get a little easier to walk. Robert leave behind a legacy that won't fade away like smoke inna the wind; instead, it root deep inna the hearts of him children, him friends, and the whole community that he call home for so long.
We must celebrate the works he did put in while he was here pon this earth. Life is like a candle inna the breeze—sometimes it burn long and sometimes it go out before we ready—but Robert make sure him own light shine bright enough to guide others. He never did turn him back pon a person in need, and he always had a kind word to share. As he make him transition to the next side, we remember the laughter, the hard work, and the love that he poured into everything he did. Every corner of Jamaica Plain feel the silence now that him voice gone, but the echo of him kindness still remains.
So, we say walk good, Robert George Gelinas. May the ancestors greet you with open arms and may the road ahead of you be smooth and paved with gold. You finish your race, you keep the faith, and you do it all with a heart that was pure. To the family left behind, keep your heads held high and remember that though the body may rest inna the earth, the spirit is free to soar like an eagle. May peace and comfort surround you like a warm blanket inna the cool night. Rest inna eternal power, Robert, until we all meet again on the other side of the river.
