Our warmest thanks to the exceptional staff of Wicklow Hospice who cared for Donal throughout his final weeks, for Susan & Bernie who brought such comfort & dignity to his final months at home & to all his medical team who supported him throughout his illness.

Special thanks to Fr. Martin Jose for his friendship & comforting prayers, to Fr. Gerard Deegan for celebrating such a beautiful funeral Mass, to the sacristy team at Barndarrig Church, to Karla Tracey who sang so beautifully & to Bridget Kenny for her accompaniment.

Thank you to the management & staff of Jack Whites for their hospitality, to Chris Caffrey for tending to the grave & to all at John Sweeney and Sons Funeral Directors.
