The death has occurred of:
Linda Hamilton
Acknowledgement- Linda Hamilton
Linda's husband Drew, daughter Judith (Alan), son David (Rachael), granddaughters Abbie and Jada, brother Geoff and family wish to thank everyone who sympathised with them on their recent sad bereavement.
Heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to send cards, letters, messages via text and social media. To all who came out in such large numbers to the funeral home and funeral service to support us and offer their condolences and those unable to attend who watched online and sent messages of support afterwards.
To those who have given donations in lieu of flowers and continue to do so in Linda's memory to Palliative Care, Omagh thank you. As a family we are sincerely grateful and take comfort that families we know will benefit greatly from this in the future.
A word of thanks to the staff at Drumragh Family Practice, the treatment room, X-ray department, The Bridgewater Suite City Hospital, the Group Pharmacy, District nursing team and Palliative care team.
To Professor Watson MBE, Dr Rachel Doherty, Thelma and the entire team at Palliative Care for their care and dedication to Linda during her most difficult time. In her words "her Angels on Earth" As a family we are totally indebted to the care we were also given and took great comfort that Linda's final days were of contentment.
To the Rev Jane Nelson for the pastoral care during Linda's illness, her attendance in the hospital and the fitting tribute she gave Linda. We also wish to thank St Columba's Church and the Methodist church for opening their car parks the day of the funeral and also thank the Rev Graham Hare and Rev Jonathan Cowan for their pastoral support to the entire family prior to and during this difficult time.
Thank you to Stanley Matthews, organist, Trinity Church and to Shaunagh Poyntz for the beautiful singing which we know would have meant the world to Linda.
To Imelda Kirk (principal), staff and students of Drumragh Integrated College for the Guard of Honour on arrival to the church. To the members of Trinity Presbyterian Church who assisted with parking and ushering everyone to their seats.
Can we also take this opportunity to thank Judith's Market House neighbours for closing all their premises prior to and for the duration of the funeral. It did not go unnoticed by the family.
To Jasmine who has been tremendous support in the shop during Linda's illness and the weeks that have followed since Linda's passing. To Alison who along with Judith and Abbie decorated Linda's casket late into the night and got Judith through when it all became overwhelming. Another daughter to Linda. To David's friends and work colleagues who have also been great support.
To Linda's friends Ivor and Janet, Margaret and Wesley for their unwavering love and support before and during her entire illness. Also our neighbours Colette, Linda, Rossy and Kyra for "the chats"
Sincere thanks to Robert, Derek, Lyndsey, Rosalind and Fred, Armstrong Funeral Directors for their friendship and the professional and caring manner in which Linda's funeral arrangements were carried out.
Thanks to Barbara Pinkerton and the girls for the teas provided at the funeral home and to The Silverbirch Hotel for refreshments provided after the funeral. Thanks also to the gravediggers and staff of Omagh and Fermanagh District Council.
Finally, Dr Phil Brennan, what can we say, an amazing tribute to Linda. A Eulogy that touched so many who attended the funeral and watched the service online. Paying tribute along with the Island of Ireland Peace Choir at the graveside just two weeks later meant so much to us.
As it is impossible to thank everyone individually please accept this as a token of our deepest appreciation
The Hamilton/ McGeagh family
