Thank you to Mary’s nephew Michael Vincent who opened the grave for her final resting place. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Funeral Mass including Mary’s grandchildren who brought up the opening gifts and offered Prayers of the Faithful. Thank you to Mary’s granddaughter Neasa who was altar server for the funeral. Thanks to Mary’s sisters who brought up the offertory gifts. Thanks to Mary’s children for the readings and the Reflection. Thank you to Mary’s sons, grandsons, sons-in-law and nephews who helped carry Mary to her place of rest.

Mary would have thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful music performed by Malachi Cush, Karen Kirby, Mark Carmichael and Rory Madden and her grandaughters Suzanne Toal and Sophia Power.

Mary valued family above all else and would have been extremely proud that the Funeral Mass was centred around her loving family.

A special thanks goes to the Enable carers who cared for Mary at home. A special mention to Sarah and Niamh, for their care, attention and kindness.

The Grimes family wish to thank Kate McAleer and staff for their professionalism, empathy, continued support and dignified manner throughout the wake and funeral process.

Special thanks to Fr Slater for his guidance, prayers and attention in our mother’s final days. Fr Slater’s Funeral Mass was a beautiful and spiritual tribute to Mary. Thanks also to Fr Peter O’Neill, a close family friend, who assisted during the Funeral Mass.
