Cornelius Keogh Obituary

Dear Con,
Everyone at GROW in South Australia thanks you for your courage and determination to help others improve their mental health through friendship and the wonderful GROW Program. Many of us here only know you in name but we are touched by your influence everyday that we try to grow closer to maturity, and will be long after your passing. I was fortunate to meet you and have you look me in the eye warmly and simply say to me "Good on you" ....Thank-you Rest in Peace

Grow gave me the confidence and skills I needed to learn. I spent several years in GROW and I still continue to renew my will to change everyday. Thank you Con. I never got to meet you. But your wisdom have saved me from going nuts so many times and one liners from the Blue book are a part of my everyday thinking.

If it were not for GROW and the Program I may not be alive today. Fr Con Keogh a remarkable man with incredable insights which has helped both Keith & I and so many people regain their Mental Health. Thank you

Did you say " Do you knead (to be needed) ? "
OR
" Do you need to be kneaded ?" at that grace - filled GROW summer camp ? Either ~ Or ? my astonishment , mind blown , continues at the fresh , out- of- the- oven , from the field , illuminating and liberating wisdom from sharing at the table with you Con , the total companion and the great dynamo for me and for everyone . The Con activation which has leavened us Growers is like Ursula K . Leguin writes "Love doesn't sit there like a stone. It has to be made like bread; remade all the time, made new. " Go , Con , you have changed the nature of your relationship with us but not ended it ! It continues in a new way . We may grumble and sorrow at such a change in our habitual natures but listening you tease it so to pass so in our rigid , bulldozer lives just for the good, from center, down-to-earth newness to be brought to birth and so we feel a touch of heaven on earth ... thank you for this , Con of unchanging character but formidable changes ahead !

You were a remarkable man and even though I never got the chance to meet you I feel as though I know you. Your spirit is present in the GROW program and throughout the GROW community across the world.You will always remembered and our gratitude will never fade.
~God Bless

You were a true treasure Con, and we will miss you. Thank you for your hard work, enthusiasm, and infectious spirit. You have helped so many people across the globe struggling with ordinary life. Thank you and may you rest in peace.

Thank you for the GROW program and the friendships I have made, by being involved in GROW.

Con,
God bless and keep you safely in His loving arms. I thank God for the GROW program, which gave me my life back. Thanks to the friendhships and mutual aid principles of GROW, I was able to gain an ordinary life and fulfill my dreams. Your legacy lives on in my life and the many others you have touched.
Hugs to you,
Annette

So many lives have been touched here in America through the GROW Program. Thank you Con for giving us all this gift and sharing your life and love with us. We will all miss your presence here on earth, but we know that we have a guardian angel to watch over us. God Bless You.

On behalf of the GROW community and all its' members in the South East of Ireland...thank you for the wonderful legacy which is the GROW Program. You have left us a true guiding light Fr. Con. May you rest in peace.

It was my pleasure to have known you even though it was a short time I will miss your beautiful smile. RIP

Fr. Con, thank you so much for sharing your experience and wisdom. You have helped and will continue to help so many. God rest you!

what a wonderful legacy you have left for the world thank you con GROW helped to save my life and because of you i can share it with others

If it were not for people like Father Keogh and sharing his insights to what helped him with mental illness we would not have a wonderful place like GROW.Thankyou

It is said..."If you are seeking creative ideas,
go out walking.
Angels whisper to a man
when he goes for a walk."
Con; you must have had one long walk, because you shared enough too care.
Bless.
Kevin.
