Thank you to the Emergency Services for their rapid response, care and dignity that they showed to John on the evening of his death: Our heartfelt thanks to everyone that called to our family home, sent Mass and Sympathy cards, telephoned, left messages on social media or attended the funeral, many of which travelled long distances to support us.

We wish to thank all the staff of both Three Spires Surgery and Tallons Pharmacy Sixmilecross for their caring attitude towards John. A special word of thanks to Professor Mc Manus and the Respiratory Department, the Oxygen delivery Team, and to Siobhan Donnelly I.L.D Nurse in Omagh hospital who always showed love and exceptionalcare towards John.
