Mum passed away peacefully on the 27th of September 2022. A widely respected, devoted family lady and much-loved mother, grandmother, sister, sister in law, aunt and friend.
We, her family wish to express our sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to all those who sympathised, prayed for, and supported us through our recent sad bereavement.
We would like to acknowledge all those who paid their respects in any way. Thank-you to those who called to the family home, telephoned, sent Mass or sympathy cards, flowers or donations in lieu of flowers and to those who left messages online or via social media.
Thanks to those who lined the funeral route or who joined us at the Mass or via the webcam. Sincere thanks to our relatives, friends and neighbours who helped in so many ways, to help us grieve as a family.
A special word of thanks to Father Patrick Mac Entee PP for his spiritual support and the comforting Requiem Mass. We convey our appreciation also to the Sacristan and everyone who assisted with the Mass, especially our musician Fergal McAloon who provided the beautiful music.
Thank you to McAtee Funeral Directors for the dignified and professional manner in which the funeral arrangements were carried out. Our thanks to the grave digger for preparing Mum’s final resting place, to the Dromore Ladies Committee for the refreshments provided after the funeral and to Sheenagh for the lovely flowers.
We would also like to thank mum’s carers from North West Care, Lakeland Care, WHSCT, District Nurses and Doctors in Dromore and SWAH for their excellent level of care and attention to Mum during her illness. We also extend our sincere thanks to Mum’s many friends and family that visited and assisted her in recent times.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a gesture of our family’s deepest gratitude.
Mum’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated in St Davog’s Church, Dromore on Saturday 29th October at 7pm. Our Lady pray for her.
