Marian’s brothers and sisters, Gerard, Peter, Colin, Adrian, Anthony, Paula, Imelda and Sharon would like to express our sincere gratitude for the kindness and support shown to us by our wider family, friends and neighbours following our recent bereavement.

Thank you to everyone who called to the house and or attended the funeral, supplied food, sent mass cards, sympathy cards, letters and messages of condolences, flowers or made donations in lieu of flowers and travelled long distances to be with us.

We would like to express our gratitude to Dr Stephen Lalsingh, the Clarendon Medical and Foyle Hospice Community Nurses, the nursing and medical staff of wards 43, 24, 40 and Casualty, Altnagelvin Hospital. A special thanks to Dr Rahim, Marian’s Specialist Palliative Care and Oncology Teams at Altnagelvin Hospital and the Paramedics who attended. Thank you also to the staff of Rosemount Pharmacy.

Sincere thanks to Fr Patrick Lagan who attended to Marian in her final days, for his beautiful, touching homily and mass and his spiritual guidance. Thank you also to Fr Paul Farren and Fr Shaun Doherty, St Eugene’s Cathedral, for their kindness and compassion.

Thank you to the Area Youth Service for their Guard of Honour and to St Eugene’s Cathedral Folk Group for the beautiful way in which they sang Marian to her rest.

We will always remember and appreciate the professional, dignified and sympathetic manner in which McClafferty Funeral Directors cared for Marian and carried out her funeral arrangements and would like to express our heart felt thanks.

Thank you to the staff of the Tree House for the care and attention provided after the funeral.

As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our sincere appreciation and gratitude. Mass will be offered for your intentions.

Marian’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated in St Eugene’s Cathedral, Derry on Saturday 11th January at 7.30 pm. All welcome.
