Alan’s siblings Aidan, Carmel, Phyllis, Norah, Keith & their families along with the family of their late brother Colin, wish to express their most sincere thanks for the many ways they were comforted & supported throughout Alan’s funeral & during the time since.

Thank you to everyone who visited the funeral home, attended Alan’s removal, funeral Mass & burial, sent Mass cards, letters, texts or shared kind words & warm memories online, those who phoned or wrote & all those who donated generously to Abbey Manor in honour of Alan’s memory; https://gofund.me/c56c0164

We will be forever grateful to Alan’s “other family”, his carers & friends at Abbey Manor, Alan’s comfortable & loving home for almost twenty years. Thank you to the doctors & nurses of St. Vincent’s Hospital who cared for Alan throughout his final days.

A special thank you to Fr Pádraig Ó’Cochláin & Fr David Brough for their prayers, guidance, beautiful funeral Mass & burial service & to Michael Flood & Patricia Kavanagh for such wonderful music.

Thanks also to the management & staff of the Arklow Bay Hotel for their hospitality, to Jason Porter for tending to the grave & to all at John Sweeney and Sons Funeral Directors.

As it is impossible to name everyone individually, we trust that this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere appreciation.

Alan’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday 2nd June at 11.30am in Ss. Mary & Peter’s Church. Those who cannot attend are welcome to join via webcam;
