We the family of the late Christopher Quinn, wish to express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to all our relatives, friends, neighbours, and the local business’s, who supported us through our recent sad bereavement. We are indebted to all those who expressed their condolences by visiting the wake, attended the funeral, who sent mass cards, sympathy cards, messages, telephoned and brought gifts and food to our home. We are extremely grateful for our friends, the Moree community and the Irish Support Group in Australia, who rallied together to support our family with Christopher’s final journey home.

Our sincere gratitude to Fr O’Hagan for his spiritual guidance and for celebrating Christopher’s beautiful requiem mass, and to Monseigneur Dolan who also visited and provided support as we awaited the return of Christopher . A word of thanks to Clodagh Quinn who provided the lovely music and singing which enhanced the celebration of Christopher’s Requiem Mass. Also, thanks to all those who carried out readings, prayers of the faithful and offertory procession.

We sincerely thank McCusker Bros Funeral Directors for their efficient, dignified and professional manner in which they carried out all the funeral arrangements, and to Manning’s Funeral Director’s in Australia who looked after Christopher and prepared him for his journey home.

We would also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Colin and Eithne Bell, and all within the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust. They took management in the safe return of Christopher, so we could lay him to rest. The charitable work that they do for grieving families in these circumstances is truly phenomenal, and there are no words to express how eternally grateful we are. We greatly appreciate all the generous donations that were made to this charity in memory of Christopher, and are overwhelmed by the total contribution made.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust this acknowledgment will be accepted as a token of our sincere appreciation.

Christopher’s months mind mass will be celebrated on Sunday 5th March 2023 at 11.00am in St Mary’s Church, Bellaghy
