Brendan (Boondy) GELSTON
We the family of the late Brendan Gelston wish to offer our heartfelt thanks and sincere appreciation to everyone who sympathised with us during our recent sad bereavement. Thank you to all who sent messages of condolences, cards, flowers, donations in lieu of flowers, brought food, called at our home or paid their respects along the funeral route.
Many thanks to our family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues for your support and kindness.
To Drumaness Superkings C.C and Drumaness GAC for your heartfelt and touching tributes and to the Drumaness footballers for their dignified guard of honour.
We wish to express our gratitude to all the healthcare professionals, consultants, surgeons, doctors, district nursing team and the Marie Curie team for their care, compassion and support to our family as we cared for Daddy at home in his final months.
Thank you to Fr Loghran for celebrating a beautiful requiem mass and to Caolan Keavney for his lovely singing.
Thanks to Ciaran Fitzpatrick and his team at Seamus Fitzsimons Funeral Directors for their support and the dignity and respect shown towards our Daddy.
As it is impossible to thank everyone individually for their kindness, We hope this acknowledgement will be accepted as an expression of our deepest thanks.
Brendan will be remembered and cherished as a Husband, father, grandfather, Brother, son-in -law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, uncle and friend.
“Your life was a blessing, Your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure”
