Grateful thanks to all who sent mass and sympathy cards, flowers and messages of condolences, to all that attended the funeral or watched online, to the kind neighbours of Leenan Gardens too, this didn’t go unnoticed. Thanks to the ambulance service, all the doctors and nurses in recuss and ward 26 for looking after her so well in her final days.

A special thanks to Fr. Sean O’Donnell for his kind prayer while she was in hospital. To Fr. Daniel McFaul for such a beautiful requiem mass and also to Annmarie and Aidan for the uplifting hymns.

To the Sandwich Co. for the lovely food, a huge thank you.
We are so grateful to Bradley & McLaughlin Funeral Directors for the dignified and professional manner in which the funeral was carried out and for fulfilling all our requests during this heart-breaking time.
