To the paramedics and staff in the ICU at Craigavon Area Hospital, we thank you all so much for the amazing care given to Steven in his final hours.
To everyone that called at our home, telephoned, sent messages of sympathy, brought food and flowers and also to our wonderful friends, neighbours and family who made sure everyone got a cup of tea or coffee ,we sincerely thank you.

To Mrs Lindsey McConomy for providing the music and also helping with the memory video of Steven that was played in church. To Glenn and Jamie for the very moving pipes and drum tribute to Steven , we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you also to Daphne Scott of Hilltop Catering for providing the beautiful refreshments after the funeral service and to Crossgar Masonic for the use of their hall.
Steven was a very caring person and always willing to lend a helping hand when needed so it seemed very fitting to support the Air Ambulance NI Charity. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, it was greatly appreciated.
Thank you also to Mr Tom Edgar and last but not least our sincere thanks to Martin, Claire, Gordon and Charlie of Charles Rourke and Sons Funeral Directors who carried out their duties above and beyond.
