Thank you to those who called to the wake house, brought food, lined the funeral route or who joined us at the Mass.
Sincere thanks to all our relatives, friends and neighbours who helped us in so many ways to grieve as a family.
A special word of thanks to Father Denis Dolan and Fr Peter McCawille (SMA) 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 the readers, and our musicians Fergal, Mark and Conor McAloon and Mickey Kerr who provided the beautiful music for Paddy’s funeral mass.
Thank you to McAtee Funeral Directors for the most dignified and professional manner in which the funeral arrangements were carried out and to the gravedigger Eamon Colton for preparing Paddy’s final resting place. Our thanks also to Sheena at Bumble Bee Garden Dromore for the beautiful floral tribute and to the ladies in St Patrick’s Hall for the very welcome refreshments after the funeral.
