The staff of McAleer Medical Hall, The Respiratory Team (Northern Trust), Staff of Craigavon Area Hospital, The Ambulance Service and the District Nurses for the professional manner in which you all carried out your different roles whilst caring for her.

To the Sacristan’s Ann-Marie and Patrick, Colin, Damien, Kieran, Jody Neville (All spec) and Aiden Molloy, Ann McKenna for providing the most beautiful floral arrangements, and the Piper Noel Mullin who led her to her final place of rest.

We extend a very sincere and heartfelt debt of gratitude to the following people: –

The staff of Rivervale Country PCH for the commitment, help and support offered to us during what was a very challenging and difficult time.

Some people have provided dedicated and loyal care and support to our mother for many years and it is to you that we owe a special word of thanks for all you have done for her. 

To Anne and Rosemary who supported her with her care needs over the years.

Paula and Maureen who provided her with many gifts and activities which enabled her to continue and enjoy her many missionary projects throughout the years.

 To Vera who’s weekly visits brought her much joy and comfort, to her nieces and nephews, her friends at Rea’s Ceoil House and to Margaret and Dympna for their continued support and friendship.

 To Bridget who had a special place in our mother care, you cared for her with such dignity and gentleness and your presence always brought her much joy and contentment in a very kind and caring way.  We as a family will be forever grateful to you for everything you have been to her and to us.

Finally, we extend our gratitude to our Funeral Director Kate McAleer and her assistant Peter Murphy, to the Grave Digger John Rafferty for the professional way you carried out her funeral arrangements.

It must be mentioned that we do not have words adequate to express to you Kate, the peace and comfort you brought us by how you took care of our mother’s funeral arrangements. You went above and beyond your call of duty.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually who has supported us since our mother passing to eternal life. We have been humbled by the overwhelming support and generosity of everyone, and we trust that this acknowledgement will express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to all of you.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.

Our mothers’ months Mind Mass will take place on Saturday 29^th January at

11 am in the Church of the Assumption Pomeroy. Holy Mass can also be viewed via Webcam.
