Book of Condolences

In Loving Memory of Andrew McNelis 🕊️ 17th July 2025 🕊️ Dear Collette, Fióna, Úna, and all the extended McNelis family, We were truly heartbroken to hear about Andrew’s passing. He was such a kind and generous soul, and it was a true blessing to have known him. We hope you find some comfort in the love he shared with all of you and in the precious memories that will forever hold him close. We still remember our last dinner together—his warmth, his gentle presence, and the way he filled the room with laughter. His humour, kind spirit, and that happy smile will always stay with us. In honour of his journey, we want to share a Persian verse and prayer, soul’s path doesn’t end, but continues—free, joyful, and at peace: Rise now—for you are off to the Beloved’s feast, Stepping gently into the garden of eternal peace. O gentle soul, weary no more—you go in joy, Like the scent of a flower, free from the clay, released and pure. Please know we’re holding you close in our hearts during this difficult time. May you find strength in one another and comfort in all the loving memories you share. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. With all our love and prayers, Behrooz, Maryam & Amir
