The family of the late Michael (Mickey) Rafferty wish to express our heartfelt thanks and sincere appreciation to everyone who supported us following the loss of daddy.
We are deeply grateful to all who attended the wake and funeral, sent Mass cards, sympathy cards, online messages, those who travelled long distances to attend the wake or funeral or who helped in any way during this difficult time. Our heartfelt thanks to our friends and neighbours for all their help, your kindness and support have been a great comfort to us.
Sincere thanks to Dominic Muldoon and Phelim McKenna Funeral directors for the professional and dignified manner in which the funeral arrangements were carried out and for the support shown to our family throughout.
We are especially grateful to Fr O’Dwyer for his gentle guidance and for celebrating daddy’s beautiful Requiem Mass.
Sincere thanks to Paul Bell and Crilly Orange Hall for facilitating car parking during the wake and to Alex for minibus transport.
Thanks to Aoife Tierney for the wonderful music and to all who participated in the liturgy.
We are deeply grateful to all those who looked after daddy; The Renal Team Daisy Hill Hospital especially Dympna Sands, Loane House, Copperfields Nursing Home, the staff of Parkview Surgery, Dungannon, Dr Potter, Aughnacloy Health Centre, Keith and staff of McKeever’s Chemist, Aughnacloy and to the dedicated carers who cared for daddy in his final weeks at home. To all the huntsmen who provided such a fitting tribute to daddy at home, at the church and at the graveside, heartfelt thanks. Finally to The Diamond Cafe for the refreshments after the funeral and to Aghaloo Community Centre for the use of their premises.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our sincere gratitude and appreciation.
Daddy’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated in St Mary’s Church, Aughnacloy on Sunday July 26th at 11.30am.
