Family Acknowledgement

We the daughters of the late Sylvie Quinn wish to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to all who sympathised with us on the passing of a much loved father, brother, grandfather, father-in-law, brother-in-law, uncle and friend.

We are very grateful for the support and prayers of those who attended the wake, removal of his remains and the funeral mass, especially to those who came very long distances. It was very comforting to see you all there. We wish to thank also those that sent mass cards, sympathy cards and sent messages of condolences, including messages on social media. Your thoughts and prayers were greatly appreciated.

We would like to thank Daddy’s domiciliary carers and private carers: Bernie, Caoimhe, Carol, Eileen, Kate, Linda, Maureen, Selina and Theresa. All were a great source of comfort to Daddy and to ourselves and the input by these great carers enabled us to keep him at home until his passing. Your kindness will never be forgotten.

Daddy received the best medical attention from so many professionals: we especially thank Doctor Armstrong GP from Errigal Medical Centre who always took the time to discuss Daddy’s care at length and to answer our many questions. Your knowledge and professionalism was so appreciated. Thank you to all the staff at O’Neills Chemist, Ballygawley who were always very helpful and tended to his every medication need. A big thanks to the Community Palliative Care Team especially Ruth, Hannah and Diane and to his Community District Nursing Team especially Norma, Ethna and Rebecca. Your kindness and dedication were second to none. We are very thankful as well to the Community Stroke Team who were very attentive throughout Daddy’s recent illness. A special word of thanks is extended also to the Marie Curie Team who couldn’t have been kinder to Daddy. We will be eternally thankful for your compassion especially in his final days.

A special word of thanks to those many friends and neighbours who helped out tirelessly in many ways at the wake, both in the kitchen serving tea and refreshments and helping to park cars. Thank you all for being so generous with your time. Thanks also to Geraldine O’Neill / Nugent Engineering for providing the beautiful catering for the wake and to the many people who brought food to the wake. Your generosity was very much appreciated.

Our sincere thanks to Fr Hannigan PP, Killeeshil for his spiritual guidance and support and for celebrating the beautiful funeral Mass. Thanks also to Fr McGuckin for his kind words. At the funeral, we were so uplifted by the beautiful singing and music performed by our neighbours Cara and Aisling McElvogue and by the very talented tin whistle playing by Daddy’s niece Helen Gormley. Thanks also to all the grandchildren who performed their duties so well at the funeral mass. Their involvement really added to the occasion.

Sincere thanks to Paudge Quinn for the very dignified manner in which he carried out the funeral arrangements. We are thankful for your professionalism and support. Also thank you to the gravedigger who prepared Daddy’s grave. We would also like to thank the staff of Quinn’s Corner for the beautiful meal following the funeral.

As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust this acknowledgement will be accepted as a token of our utmost appreciation.

Daddy’s Months Mind Mass will be celebrated in St Joseph’s Church, Ackinduff on Friday 15th July at 7.30pm
