Christmas in heaven
What will they do?
They will come down to earth,
To spend it with you.
So save them a space,
Just one empty chair.
You may not see them,
But they will be there.

Imelda’s family invite you to join them as they observe the first anniversary of her death.  Mass will be celebrated on Wednesday December 27th at 11am in St. John’s the Baptist Church, Galbally.

The family of the late Imelda Quinn wish to thank most sincerely all those who sympathised with them on their recent sudden bereavement of a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and dear friend. Our heartfelt thanks to all who attended to Imelda at the scene of the accident, locals, paramedics, Air Ambulance, Fire Service, PSNI, emergency and theatre staff at the Royal Victoria Hospital.

We sincerely thank all our neighbours, friends and extended family who welcomed Imelda’s remains to our family home. To all who helped out at the house before during and after the wake your kindness and support has been overwhelming. Thanks to everyone who contacted us, left online tributes, sent sympathy cards, Mass cards and floral tributes. Thanks to those who visited or attended the wake and especially those who travelled long distances to be with us. Thanks to our neighbours for preparing Imelda’s grave and to all those who helped out with parking. Thanks to Charlie Mc Guckin (Screens2Go Video) Mark Doyle (Drone) and KC Marquees.

A special word of thanks to Fr Paddy Mc Guckin for his lifelong friendship and support of our family especially during this difficult time.
