We, the family of the late Michael McKee RIP would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to all who sympathised with us following the passing of our much-loved father, grandfather and brother.

We are very grateful to all the healthcare workers that attended to Dad. With special thanks to staff at Antrim Area hospital and the Diamond Medical Centre and community nursing team, and the carers and staff at Westlands Cookstown and Drapersfield nursing home Cookstown.

Sincere thanks to all our family, friends, neighbours and all who travelled from near and far to our family home, sent mass cards, sympathy cards, flowers, telephoned and supplied us with food and helped in many ways. Thank you to Jackie Fox for the beautiful music at the funeral mass.

Thanks to the gravediggers for preparing Dad’s final resting place and a special thank you to McCusker Bros, Tom, Enda and Ronan for their guidance, empathy and professionalism during this sad time.

Special thanks to Fr Gates for his spiritual guidance and kindness during Dads illness and celebrating the requiem mass. Thanks to O’Donovan Rossa GAC for their support during the wake and the Parish centre for providing refreshments after funeral.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually who supported us during this difficult time, we hope this acknowledgment will be accepted as a token of our heartfelt gratitude to all.

Michael’s month mind mass will be celebrated on Sunday 6th April at 11:30am at Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, Magherafelt.
