Tom passed away on the 30th of August, a widely respected, devoted family man and much-loved husband, father, brother, brother in law, uncle and friend. We, his family wish to express our sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to all those who sympathised, prayed for and supported us through our recent sad bereavement. We have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of mass and sympathy cards and private messages we have received. We would like to acknowledge all those who paid their respects in any way. Our thanks to those who called to the house, who telephoned, who sent Mass or sympathy cards, flowers and those who left messages online or via social media and to those who lined the funeral route or who joined us via the webcam. Sincere thanks to our friends and neighbours who helped out in so many ways, to help us grieve as a family.

A special word of thanks to Canon Patrick MacEntee for his spiritual support and the comforting Requiem Mass. We convey our appreciation also to the Sacristan and everyone who assisted with the Mass. Thank you to the singers Fergal. Mark and Conor McAloon and Ainé Nugent who provided the beautiful music during the Mass and to Ainé for providing the music at the graveside. Thank you to McAtee Funeral Directors for the dignified and professional manner in which the funeral arrangements were carried out and to the grave digger for preparing Tom’s final resting place.

We extend a sincere thank you to the Doctor Bradley and staff of Three Spires Surgery, Omagh, who cared so professionally and compassionately for Tom over many years. And to the staff of Ward 1 South West Acute Hospital for their care and compassion during Tom’s recent admission. Many thanks also to Bernard Maguire Pharmacist and all the staff of McDermott’s Chemist in Dromore, for all their help with Tom’s care.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a gesture of our family’s deepest gratitude.

Tom’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated in St Davog’s Church, Dromore on Saturday 9th October 2021 at 7pm. Our Lady pray for him.
