The husband and family of the late Mary Ellen (May) Newell would like to thank all those who sympathised with them in their recent sad bereavement.

Thanks to those friends and neighbours who sent cards, telephoned, brought gifts, made a donation to Alzheimer’s Society N.I. (c/o Douglas Funeral Directors), attended the funeral service or helped in any other way.

A special word of thanks to Rev. Alan Burke, the staff at Spa Nursing Home, the local carers, the doctors and nurses in the Royal Victoria Hospital, the Ulster Hospital and Downe Hospital, Crossgar and Montalto Medical Centres.

Thanks to John and all the staff at Douglas Funeral Directors for their kind and professional manner in which they carried out the funeral arrangements.

Trusting this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere appreciation.
