RAFFERTY RICHARD SAMUEL (COEY) - The family of the late Richard Samuel (Coey) Rafferty of

We thank our relatives, friends and neighbours who called to the family home, sent cards, messages, telephoned and sent flowers, your kind thoughts and words of comfort have been gratefully received.
Our sincere gratitude to everyone who stood outside in our street joining us for the funeral service, thank you also to those who stood respectfully along the Ravarnet Road lining the path of Coey's final journey.
Thanks to the medical staff at the Cancer Centre at Belfast City Hospital, and to the Hospice nurses Dympna and Sylvia, your kindness and care will never be forgotten.
A special thank you to the Rev Jason Kernohan for his beautiful service and words of comfort and support.

Heartfelt sympathy to my sister Diane and boys.
We cannot bring the old times back, when we were all together,
but loving thoughts we have of you will remain with us forever.

Love from the Wright family xx
To my sister Diane,
My heart breaks right through.
May Coey’s peace at the end
Bring solace to you.
To Stuart, Sam and Andy,
Stay strong for your mum.
She’ll need your love and your strength
In the sad months to come.
Wee Alfie, you knew
It was time for the pain
To leave him. You hugged him
To relieve the strain.
Catherine, Sharon and Cathy,
Taylor, Piper and Jude,
I pray your memories of Coey
Give you some interlude.
To his brother and sisters
And Jonny, his dad,
Please remember the good times
And never be sad.
Coey you’ve quietly shone
The most beautiful light.
We’ll never forget you.
Sweet dreams and goodnight.
All our love xxx
