Frank Courtney

Dear Brendan sincere sympathy to you and your family on the sad passing of your Dad RIP. I watched the original Let's talk about Dad and congratulate you on highlighting another burococy in this country. It is so frustrating that the system prevents us from keeping our loved ones at home which is everyone's right. I just watched Let's talk about Dad again and realised Frank had passed away. My heart goes out to you all especially your lovely Mum. Thank you for the courage and generosity in sharing your story with us May you find comfort and solace in knowing that you helped make a difference.

With best wishes for happier times

My deepest sympathy to you Brendan and to your family. I never met you but watched your TV presentation of the reality of the care given to our elderly with interest and I have to say absolute horror.
As a family we have had to face the same thing and as you know it's tough. Hope your Mam and family are doing well and please extend our condolences to them.

My sincere condolences to the Courtney family on the death of your beloved father, Frank. I watched the programme and I thought it was a wonderful and sensitive portrayal of the problems we all face as we get older.
Kind regards, Finola Flynn

Deepest sympaties to all the family on the death of your loved one, husband, father, grandfather and brother. May you all get blessings to comfort you in your time of loss and grief. Thank you also for the television program you have tried to show how difficult it is to get help in this country at times of health problems and try to hold your home over your head. This is what you worked from and the government should not be greedy wanting to take part of it from any of us. May the good Lord hold you close and I'm sure your dear Frank has Gould his place in heavenly paradise. R. I. P.

My deepest sorrows to you all at this time. Your father was a very wise and inspirational man and now he is looking down on all of you with pride. Always know that we are all here for you xxxx
