Hugh's family would like to express their sincere thanks to all who sympathised and supported us on our recent sad bereavement. Thanks to all who sent Mass cards, messages, telephoned, those who joined us online, travelled long distances to attend dad reposing at home, the Funeral Mass, burial, those who listed their condolences online. Thanks to all our neighbours, relatives, friends, work colleagues and anyone who helped in any way, we are very grateful for all your help and support. Thanks to everyone who prepared food, your generosity is much appreciated. 

We would like to say thanks to the Drs and all the staff in the Health Centre Collooney, the staff in Lannon's pharmacy Ballisodare, Home Help (Kirby Care), Palliative Care nurses and Drs, Dr Finan and her team in the Hub in Ballytivnan and Noel from Air Liquid Healthcare, whom always showed such care and compassion for Hugh.

A very special and heartfelt thanks to the nurses and Drs in Sligo University Hospital and all the wider staff who cared for Hugh on Medical south. The North West Hospice for the exceptional care, kindness, and comfort they showed Hugh and for the kindness shown to our family. A word of thanks to Fr Towey who celebrated a lovely Funeral Mass. Thanks to Gerard Clarke, Funeral Undertakers for his professional service. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our deepest gratitude to you all.

Hugh's Month's Mind Mass will be held in St Bridget's Church, Corhownagh, Ballisodare on Saturday, 18th January 2025 at 11am

All are welcome. 

We think of things you used to say, and all that you would do. 
At some point, every single day, our thoughts will turn to you.
No matter how life changes, no matter what we do,
A special place within our hearts is always kept for you.

Along the road of suffering,
You found a little lane;
That took you up to Heaven,
And ended all your pain.
You may be out of sight,
We may be worlds apart;
But you are always in our prayers,
And forever in our hearts.

We cannot bring the old days back,
When we were all together;
The family chain is broken now
But memories last forever.
