The death has occurred of:
Brona Boyle (née Mallon)
Brian, Conor, Maeve, Maelisa, Eimear and the entire Boyle and Mallon family circle would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all who offered condolences and support following the recent bereavement of Brona. We are deeply grateful to extended family, friends and neighbours who offered their support and kindness, particularly those who called to the house, sent Mass cards, sympathy cards, those who gathered along the route to the church and attended the wake and funeral. The generosity from all throughout and in the days that followed helped us through this difficult time.
A special word of thanks to the doctors and nurses of Kilrea Health Centre, McCloy’s Pharmacy, Antrim Area Hospital, Laurel House and especially the A1 ward who provided exceptional care to Brona during her final few weeks. We truly appreciate all the care and support shown during this time.
We want to convey our gratitude to those who brought food to the family home and helped out at the wake and to those who donated generously to MacMillan in memory of Brona. Your generosity and presence were a great comfort.
We extend our sincere thanks to Fr Chris McDermott for his spiritual support and for conducting a beautiful Requiem Mass. The touching eulogy was a fitting tribute to the love and respect in which Brona was held in the community and beyond. We are very thankful to all involved in Brona’s funeral service, including the sacristan’s, Bronagh Etherson our eucharistic minister, Anne Campbell and Eoin Cunning for providing the music and Brona’s sister Maelisa and niece Niamh for their uplifting musical contribution.
A particular word of thanks to Wishy Drain, who prepared Brona’s final resting place and to the Marian Hall for their warm welcome and providing refreshments after the funeral.
We would also express our sincere gratitude to Dempsey’s Funeral Directors especially Brian and Mairead for the professional, compassionate and dedicated manner in which they carried out all aspects of the funeral arrangements. Your personal attention and empathy meant a great deal to us.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our appreciation. The holy sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.
The Month’s Mind Mass for Brona Boyle will be celebrated on Friday 25th July at 7.30pm at St. Mary’s Church Drumagarner, Kilrea. All are welcome.
