Our heartfelt thanks to the Arklow Gardaí & to the ambulance crew who were so kind & helpful on the day Johnny passed away. Thank you to Fr Pádraig Ó’Cochláin & Fr Martin Paravookaran for their prayers, guidance and beautiful funeral Mass & to Michael Flood & Patricia Kavanagh for such lovely music.
To our own extended families, our neighbours & friends, your kindness & support will never be forgotten.
Thanks also to the management & staff of The Bridge Hotel for their hospitality & to the staff of Mount Jerome Crematorium.
To all at John Sweeney & Sons Funeral Directors, we thank you for your exceptional care & compassion throughout this most difficult time.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for the intentions of all.
