Thank you to everyone who visited our home, attended Clare’s removal & funeral Mass, those who sent Mass cards, letters, texts or shared kind messages & happy memories online, to those who couldn’t be present but joined us via webcam & to those who donated generously to The Waterford Hospice Movement in honour of Clare’s memory; https://waterfordhospice.ie/donate/

Thank you to the consultants, doctors, nurses & staff of the many hospitals Clare attended over the past two & a half years & to her exceptional carers; Michaela, Kelly-Ann & Marian who assisted us in bringing her such comfort & dignity throughout her illness.

A special thank you to Fr Diarmuid Desmond & Fr. Jim Cogley for their continued support, prayers & guidance & for celebrating such a beautiful funeral Mass & to Diane O’Neill for her lovely music. Thank you also to Fr. Tom Clowe for his years of friendship & for celebrating Clare’s committal service.

To our extended families, our colleagues, our neighbours & so many dear friends, your kindness will never be forgotten.

Thanks also to the management & staff of The Old Orchard Inn for their hospitality, to the management & staff of Mount Jerome Crematorium & to all at John Sweeney & Sons Funeral Directors.
