Thank you to everyone who called to the wake in Grianan House Funeral Home.

Our sincere thanks to Father Padraig McKenna P.P. and Father Artie McCann C.P. for their spiritual support and the very comforting Requiem Mass. We convey our appreciation also to the Sacristan and everyone who took part in the Liturgy, especially our readers, singer Fergal and musicians Stevie and Micheál who provided the beautiful reverent and uplifting music.

Thank you to McAtee Funeral Directors for the dignified and professional manner, in which the funeral arrangements were carried out and to the gravedigger Tommy for preparing Michael’s final resting place. Also to Sheenagh of Bumblebee Garden for the beautiful floral tributes, and to the St Patrick’s Hall ladies for the most welcome refreshments after the burial.

And finally, we send our sincere thanks and deep appreciation to the Community District Nursing Team and the Marie Curie Nurses who helped care for Michael in his final days, we are so very grateful for all your care, help and assistance.
