Our thanks to those who sent Mass or Sympathy cards, messages, flowers or donations in lieu, lined the funeral route or who joined us at the Requiem Mass.
We are blessed to have had the love and support of our family, friends and neighbours, throughout this difficult time, this has helped us in so many ways to grieve as a family.
A special word of thanks to Father Denis Dolan PE for his spiritual support and the very comforting Requiem Mass. We convey our appreciation also to the Sacristan Patricia and everyone who took part in the Liturgy, especially our readers, and musicians James McShane and Joan who provided the beautiful reverent and uplifting music.
Thank you to McAtee Funeral Directors for the dignified and professional manner, in which the funeral arrangements were carried out and to the gravedigger for preparing Martin’s final resting place. Our thanks also to The Village Inn for the most welcome refreshments after the burial.
And finally, we send our sincere thanks and deep appreciation to all the medical professionals with whom Martin came into contact, we are very grateful for the kindness and respect shown to him.
