Acknowledgement

Ciaran’s parents, Tony and Bernadette, sisters, Bernardine, Jeanette and Aileen. Sons in law and grandchildren wish to express their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us during this incredibly difficult time following the loss of our precious Son, Brother and Uncle Ciaran, on the 13th of January 2025.
We are deeply thankful to Dr Donal McKeown, Bishop of Derry, for his attendance at Ciaran’s funeral mass. We are particularly grateful to Fr. Joseph Gormley for his spiritual guidance and pastoral care to Ciaran and our family and for leading a beautiful and meaningful funeral mass. Your words brought solace and healing. We also wish our sincerest thanks to Monsignor Donnelly, Fr. Daniel McFaul and Fr. Sean O Donnell for concelebrating mass. To all of the priests who called to our home, offering words of comfort and prayers.
A heartfelt thank you to Anne-Marie and Aidan for their breathtaking music and singing.
To Billy and Myra for their special friendship and kindness to Ciaran.
To everyone who attended the funeral mass, visited the house, brought cards, flowers, food and donations. Your presence, generosity and shared fond memories of Ciaran have been a great comfort.
To our family and friends who brought refreshments and helped out, making sure everyone was cared for. You lightened our burden in ways we cannot fully express.
To Bradley & McLaughlin Funeral Directors for their professionalism and compassionate handling of all the funeral arrangements.
As it is impossible to thank everyone personally, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our sincere appreciation and gratitude.
The Donohoe Family
