The family of the late Christopher McNeilly would like to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all those who sympathised with us on the very sad loss of our much loved son, brother and uncle.
To all of our extended family, friends and colleagues and to Christopher’s friends who attended at the wake and funeral to pay their respects, to those who sent mass and sympathy cards and those who shared stories with us – we are so grateful for all of the love and support which was shown to our family during such a heartbreaking time. It has brought us great comfort seeing how loved Christopher truly was.
Special thanks to Father Toland for his prayers during Christopher’s wake and his touching words during the Funeral Liturgy. Our extended thanks to Bernie and Marty Campbell for the beautiful singing and music, and also to the gravediggers at St Malachy’s, Kilclief.
To Dr Jane Creaney and all the staff at Stream Street Surgery for their care and compassion towards Christopher over the last number of years. Our sincere thanks to the staff at Deeny’s Pharmacy and also Medicare Pharmacy, Crumlin for all of their help.
Thank you to the Ambulance Service and PSNI officers who attended with Christopher and our family in the immediate aftermath of Christopher’s death and the dignity and compassion shown to us.
Many thanks to Ciaran Fitzpatrick and all the staff at Seamus Fitzsimons Funeral Directors for their help, guidance and the professional and dignified manner in which the funeral arrangements were carried out.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, the Holy sacrifice will be offered for your intentions.
Christopher’s month’s mind will be held at St Patrick’s Church in Downpatrick on Wednesday 14th May at 7.30pm.
Mum, Dad, Aishling, Laura, Niall and Colleen.
