James’ wife Eileen, his son Jim, daughter Kay, grandson Dylan, daughter-in-law Mary, brother Willie, sister Pauline all our family wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who offered sympathy and support throughout our recent sad loss.
Thank you to everyone who visited the Funeral Home, attended James’s Removal, Funeral Mass & burial, sent Mass cards, letters and texts, those who shared happy memories and warm messages online, those who travelled long distances to offer comfort and support and those who couldn’t be present but joined us in the celebration of James’s life via webcam. Thank you also to all those who donated generously to Wicklow Hospice; www.olh.ie/donate or to Arklow Lifeboat: https://gofund.me/2c81d68c in James’ memory.
Our most sincere thanks Dr. Foster and his team at Harbour Road Surgery and to the doctors, nurses and caring staff of St. Vincent’s Hospital and Wicklow Hospice for the dignity and great care they brought to James’ final months. Thanks also to the kind and helpful staff of Adrian Dunne’s Pharmacy.
To our extended family and our kind neighbours & friends, your support & compassion will never be forgotten.
Our thanks to Fr. Pádraig Ó’Cochláin for his prayers, comforting guidance and beautiful Funeral Mass & to Karla Tracey and Bridget Kenny for such fabulous music.
Thank you to James’ dear friends from Arklow Lifeboat for their guard of honour & to Michael Fitzgerald for his heartfelt tribute.
Thanks also to the management & staff of The Arklow Bay Hotel for their hospitality, to Jason & Tom for tending to the grave & to all at John Sweeney & Sons Funeral Directors.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust that this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere appreciation. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for the intentions of all.
James’ Months’ Mind Mass will be celebrated on Sunday 19th January at 11.30am in Saints Mary & Peter’s Church.
