The family of Brendan & Anna would like to thank everyone for your condolences and sympathy in our time of mourning, we were greatly comforted by all your messages of prayer and support.

Special thanks to our dear friend Joanne, your amazing support throughout was invaluable, we are forever in your debt.

 

Thank you to Fr.

A word of thanks for the angelic voice of Brid whose heavenly tones soothed us throughout the mass.

 

Thank you to Suzanne Campbell of Budz Florist for providing the beautiful flowers and to Darren Treanor for all his help in the background making sure all arrangements were in place, also to Sinead McGuigan, Declan Finnegan and Bernard from Lakelands Funeral Home & Crematorium for your professionalism and the dignified manner in which you took Mam and Dad on their final journey to St. Mary’s Church.
