We sincerely thank all those who made Francie’s funeral so meaningful. A special thank you to the Owens family for the beautiful music, the family for their heartfelt prayers, poems and music, the coffin bearers and to Denise Flack for her dedication in signing the Mass, allowing Brendan and his friends to access the liturgy.
We thank the medical and nursing staff in the South West Acute Hospital who cared for Francie with kindness and compassion. Thanks also to the hospital and community palliative care team, the district nursing team and Lakeside Medical Practice.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Mr Peter Carty, Funeral Director, to Tom, Bernard, Martin and Maeve for bringing Francie back home to us, for their support, guidance and assistance in carrying out the funeral arrangements, for the dignified way in which Francie was laid to his final resting place and for facilitating family and friends to watch the funeral online.

The Holy sacrifice of the mass will be offered for your intentions.
